20. In a bank, principal increases continuously at the rate of r% per year. Find the value of r if Rs 100 double itself in 10 years (loge 2 = 0.6931).
Let p be the principal amount and t be the time.
According to question,
Now, at t =0 , p = 100
and at t =10, p = 200
Putting these values,
Also,
,
So value of r = 6.93%
