Assume the initial amount will be 1000
quadrple means the amount will be 4 times higher than the initial amount so 4000
shortcut method for C.I
for 1st year=1000*60/100=600
for 2nd year=(1000+600)*60/100=960
for 3rd year=(100+600+960)*60/100=1536
for calculating th 4th year the amount will be(1000+600+960+1536)=4096..so gthe amount will be quardupled in the fourth year...
in 1year we have 2 half years..so 1st 3 year=6 half year..we calculate for 4th year the amount will be touch the 4000 in the first half year....so (6+1)=7 half year will be needed.
