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.
