Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 676 Given: The principal is Rs. 1275 Rate of interest is 4 % Number of installment is 2. Formula used: P( 1+ R/100)n = X( 1+ R/100)n-1 + X( 1+ R/100)n-2 + X( 1+ R/100)n -3 + X( 1+ R/100)n-4 + ---- Where, P = principal R = Rate n = number of installments X = amount of installment Calculation: Let the value of installment be Rs. X ⇒ 1275(1 + 4/100)2 = X(1 + 4/100)2-1 ⇒ 1275 × 104/100 × 104/100 = (X + 104 X/100) ⇒ 1275 × 104/100 × 104/100 = 204 X/100 ⇒ X = 676 ∴ The value of installment is Rs. 676. |
