Answer»

Given Monthly installment = 2000Maturity value = 83100R = 10%

Now let time for which account was held be x

Then,2000x + 2000*x(x+1)/(2*12) * (10/100) = 83100

2000(x + x(x+1)/240) = 83100

20(240x + x^2 + x) = 831*240

x^2 + 241x - 831*12 = 0

x^2 + 241x - 9972 = 0

x^2 + 277x - 36x - 9972 = 0

x(x + 277) - 36(x + 277) = 0

(x - 36)(x + 277) = 0

x = 36, - 277

Negative value not possible

Therefore, account was held for 36 months.
