a) 2
b) $$2\frac{1}{2}$$
c) 3
d) 4

Answer: a
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Amount}} = Rs.\,\left( {30000 + 4347} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = Rs.\,34347 \cr & {\text{Let}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{time}}\,{\text{be}}\,n\,{\text{years}} \cr & 30000\,{\left( {1 + \frac{7}{{100}}} \right)^n} = 34347 \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{{107}}{{100}}} \right)^n} = \frac{{34347}}{{30000}} = \frac{{11449}}{{10000}} = {\left( {\frac{{107}}{{100}}} \right)^2} \cr & n = 2\,{\text{years}} \cr} $$
