Let's break down the problem step by step:
1) Calculate the annual increase in sales:
15% of 3 million = 0.15 * 3,000,000 = 450,000
2) Determine how many years it would take to reach a sales target of 25 million:
25,000,000 - 3,000,000 = 22,000,000 (the difference between the desired sales and the initial sales)
22,000,000 / 450,000 = 48.89 (the number of years needed to achieve the desired sales)
Since we cannot have a fraction of a year, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, it would take 49 years to reach an annual sales of 25 million.
Thus, the shopkeeper would achieve an annual sale of rupees 25 million in the year 2008 + 49 = <<2008+49=2057>>2057.
Shopkeeper solds goods worth rupees 3 million during 2008 if he is able to increase a sale by 15% annually and which year he would achieve annual sale of rupees 25 million
