In a bank the principal increases continuously at the rate of 4% per annum. In how many years will ₹1000 triple itself?

  1. A \(\dfrac{1}{25}\log_e 3\)
  2. B \(25\log_e 3\)
  3. C \(\log_e 75\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{25}{\log_e 3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(25\log_e 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P\) be the principal at any time \(t\). The rate of increase of principal is given by \(\dfrac{dP}{dt} = \dfrac{4}{100}P\) \(\dfrac{dP}{P} = 0.04 dt\) Integrating both sides: \(\int \dfrac{dP}{P} = \int 0.04 dt\) \(\log_e P = 0.04 t + C\) At \(t = 0\), \(P = 1000\), which…
