Compound Interest
?

A sum of Rs. 13360 was borrowed at $${\text{8}}\frac{3}{4}$$ % per annum compound interest and paid back in two years in two equal annual installments. What was the amount of each installment ?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Rate of interest (r)}} \cr & {\text{ = 8}}\frac{3}{4}\% = \frac{7}{{80}} = \frac{{87 \to {\text{ Installment}}}}{{80 \to {\text{Principal}}}} \cr} $$
⇒     I     80×87     →     87×87   ......(i)
⇒     II     6400     →     7569   ......(ii)
Since, installment is equal hence multiply equation (i) by 87
⇒ Total principal = 6960 + 6400 = 13360
⇒ 13360 units = Rs. 13360
⇒ 1 units = Rs. 1
⇒ 7569 units = Rs. 7569
∴ Each installment = Rs. 7569
