Rahul invested ₹ 20000 in a mutual fund in year 2018. If the value of mutual fund increased to ₹ 32000 in year 2023. Then the compound annual growth rate of his investment is: [given that(1.6)1/5=1.098][given \, that(1.6)^{1/5} = 1.098]

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) represents the average yearly growth rate of an investment when the growth compounds each year.

Initial Investment (P) = ₹20,000 (in 2018)

Final Value (A) = ₹32,000 (in 2023)

Number of years (n) = 2023 - 2018 = 5 years

Given: (1.6)1/5=1.098(1.6)^{1/5} = 1.098


When money grows at a compound rate:

A=P(1+r/100)nA = P(1 + r/100)^n

where rr is the rate.


32000=20000(1+r/100)532000 = 20000(1 + r/100)^5

3200020000=(1+r/100)5\dfrac{32000}{20000} = (1 + r/100)^5

1.6=(1+r/100)51.6 = (1 + r/100)^5


Taking the 5th root of both sides:

(1.6)1/5=1+r100(1.6)^{1/5} = 1 + \dfrac{r}{100}

Using the given value:

1.098=1+r1001.098 = 1 + \dfrac{r}{100}


0.098=r1000.098 = \dfrac{r}{100}

r=9.8r = 9.8

Therefore, the compound annual growth rate is 9.8%.
