Best answer

Let time = n years 

P = Rs.6250 

A = Rs.7290 

R = 8% per annum 

Now, 

Amount (A) = P (1 + R/100)n [Where, A = Amount with compound interest 

P = Present value 

R = Annual interest rate 

n = Time in years] 

∴ A = P (1 + R/100)n 

⇒ 7290 = 6250 (1 + 8/100)n 

⇒ (1 + 2/25)n = 7290/6250 

⇒ (27/25)n = 729/625 

⇒ (27/25)n = (27/25)2 

⇒ n = 2 

∴ Time = 2 years.
