Given:

Principal = Rs. 20,000

Rate of Interest (R) = 10% per annum

Amount = Rs. 26,620

Time = n years

Formula used:

Amount = Principal × {1 + \(\frac{R}{100}\)}Time

Calculation:

According to the question,

Amount = Principal × {1 + \(\frac{R}{100}\)}Time

⇒ 26,620 = 20,000 × {1 + \(\frac{10}{100}\)}n

⇒ \(\frac{26,620}{20,000}\) = {1 + \(\frac{1}{10}\)}n

⇒ \(\frac{1331}{1000}\) = {\(\frac{11}{10}\)}n

⇒ (\(\frac{11}{10}\))³ = (\(\frac{11}{10}\))n

⇒ n = 3

Hence, The required value of n years is 3 years.
