Let the money be p and let it take n years for the money to double.
Now,

Interest= Amount-Principle= 2p-p=p
ATP,

p*10*n/100= p
n/10=1
n=10
Thus time required is 10 years

Answer:

It would take 10 years for the given sum of money be doubled at the given simple interest rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10% interest would be added to the the principal amount after each year. So the interest would reach 100% i.e. equal to the principal amount in 10 years.

Best Regards!
