Answer» LET the basic AMOUNT for the 4th year be ‘x’ ∴ According to the first given condition, ⇒ 486 = x × (1 + 0.08) - x ∴ 0.08x = 486 ∴ x = 6075 ∴ Amount after 3rd year = 6075 Let the BASE amount for the 3rd year be ‘y’ ∴ 6075 = y × (1 + 0.08) ∴ y = 5625 ∴ C.I for the 3rd year = 6075 - 5625 = 450 ∴ The Compound Interest for the 3rd year is RS. 450 |
