Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{According to the question,}} \cr & {\text{Amount}} = {\text{ }}{\left( {1 + \frac{{\text{R}}}{{2 \times 100}}} \right)^{2 \times {\text{t}}}} \cr & \Rightarrow 68921 = 64000{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{2 \times 100}}} \right)^{2 \times {\text{t}}}} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{68921}}{{64000}} = {\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{40}}} \right)^{2 \times {\text{t}}}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{{41}}{{40}}} \right)^3} = {\left( {\frac{{41}}{{40}}} \right)^{2 \times {\text{t}}}} \cr & \Rightarrow 2{\text{t = 3}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{t = }}\frac{3}{2} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{t = 1}}\frac{1}{2}{\text{ years}} \cr} $$Related Questions on Compound Interest
