Solution
For 1st six months :
P = Rs. 5,000, R = 12% and T = 6 months = `1/2` year
∴ Interest = `[ 5,000 xx 12 xx 1]/[ 2 xx 100 ]` = Rs. 300.
And, Amount = Rs. 5,000 + Rs. 300 = Rs. 5,300
Since, money repaid = Rs. 1,800
Balance = Rs. 5,300 - Rs. 1,800 = Rs. 3,500
For 2nd six months :
P = Rs. 3,500, R = 12% and T = 6 months = `1/2` year
∴ Interest = `[ 3,500 xx 12 xx 1 ]/[ 2 xx 100 ]` = Rs. 210.
And, Amount = Rs. 3,500 + Rs. 210 = Rs. 3,710.
Again money repaid = Rs. 1,800
Balance = Rs. 3,710 - Rs. 1,800 = Rs. 1,910.
For 3rd six months :
P = Rs. 1,910, R = 12% and T = 6 months = `1/2` year
∴ Interest = `[ 1,910 xx 12 xx 1 ]/[ 2 xx 100 ]` = Rs. 114.60.
And, Amount = Rs. 1,910 + Rs. 114.60 = Rs. 2,024.60
Thus, the 3rd payment to be made to clear the entire loan is 2,024.60.
