Detailed Solution

Given, Rs. 15,000 yield Rs. 4965 as compound interest at 10% per year compounded annually.
So, the final amount is 15000 + 4965 = Rs 19965.
We know that A=P(1+rn)nt where P = principal amount, t = time, r = interest rate and n is the number of times interest is compounded in a year (Here n = 1).
Substitute respective values in the formula.
19965=15000(1+10100)t
1.1t=1996515000
1.1t=1.331
tlog(1.1)=log(1.331)
t=log1.1log1.331
t=3
So, after 3 years Rs. 15,000 yields Rs. 4965.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
