Answer:

The correct solution is "4.6".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Interest rate,

r = 6.2%

or,

 = 0.062

Amount,

A = 100000

Principle,

P = 76000

As we know,

⇒ A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^n

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ 100000=76000(1+\frac{6.2}{100} )^n

⇒ (1+0.062)^n=\frac{100}{76}

On taking log both sides, we get

⇒ n \ log_e(1.062)=log_e(\frac{100}{76} )

⇒                   n=\frac{ln(\frac{100}{76} )}{ln(1.062)}

By putting the values of log, we get

⇒                      =4.5622

or,

⇒                      =4.6
