sarath Multiple IRRs occur when we have non-normal cash flows...and it is difficult to choose one particular IRR.
gouthamks What if both all IRRs obtained are greater than the cost of capital ?
Bududeen it is not possible for both IRRs to be greater than the cost of capital...since if they do, the project would have been rejected anyway because of -ve NPV...think about bell shaped NPV profile.
