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
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Rate of interest (r)}} \cr
& {\text{ = 8}}\frac{3}{4}\% = \frac{7}{{80}} = \frac{{87 \to {\text{ Installment}}}}{{80 \to {\text{Principal}}}} \cr} $$
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
| ⇒ | I | 80×87 | → | 87×87 | ......(i) |
| ⇒ | II | 6400 | → | 7569 | ......(ii) |
⇒ Total principal = 6960 + 6400 = 13360
⇒ 13360 units = Rs. 13360
⇒ 1 units = Rs. 1
⇒ 7569 units = Rs. 7569
∴ Each installment = Rs. 7569
