Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
$$\eqalign{ & 12000 \times {\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{100}}} \right)^5} = 24000 \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{100}}} \right)^5} = 2 \cr & \therefore {\left[ {{{\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{100}}} \right)}^5}} \right]^4} = {2^4} = 16 \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{100}}} \right)^{20}} = 16 \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{P}}{\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{100}}} \right)^{20}}{\text{ = 16P}} \cr & \Rightarrow 12000{\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{100}}} \right)^{20}} = 16 \times 12000 \cr & \Rightarrow 12000{\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{100}}} \right)^{20}} = 192000 \cr} $$
