Solution

Let P be the principal.Let A be the amount.Since, sum of money doubles itself in 6 yrs, then time, n = 6 yrs and A = 2PLet r% be the rate of interest per annumNow, A = P1 + r100n2P = P1 + r10061 + r1006 = 22 = 1 + r1006 .....1Suppose in time t yrs, the sum of money becomes 16 times of itself at the same rate of interest.Now, A' = P1 + r100t16P = P1 + r100t1 + r100t = 161 + r100t = 24 ......2Substituting the value of 2 from 1 in 2, we get 1 + r100t = 1 + r100641 + r100t = 1 + r10024t = 24 So, in 24 years the sum of money will become 16 times of itself.
