    Let us assume that amount invested = 100

    It quadruples meaning, it becomes = 100*4 = 400

    We use the future value formula here

    FV = PV * (1+r) ^n

    here FV = 400

    PV = 100

    n = 18 months or 18/3 = 6 quarters (Since we need a three month rate)

    400 = 100 * (1+r) ^6

    4 = 1 * (1+r) ^6

    r = 4^ (1/6) - 1

    r = 1.2599 - 1 = 0.2599

    Interest rate being offered = 25.99% (Rounded to 2 decimals)
