Show the working

Absolute = (Rs 1,65,000.00 − Rs 1,00,000.00) ÷ Rs 1,00,000.00 = 65.00%
CAGR = (1.6500)^(1 ÷ 3) − 1 = 18.17%

How this is worked out

Absolute return says how much you made. CAGR says how fast — it is the steady annual rate that would have produced the same result.
CAGR is the only fair way to compare a holding kept for eight months against one kept for five years. A 60% gain is excellent over one year and poor over ten.
It says nothing about the path. Two holdings with the same CAGR can have had completely different drawdowns along the way.
