Solution
Given, A = ₹6,96,150, n = 4 years, r = 10% p.a.
i = `"r"/(100) = (10)/(100)` = 0.1
Now, A = `"C"/"i" [(1 + "i")^"n" - 1]`
∴ 6,96,150 = `"C"/(0.1)[(1 + 0.1)^4 - 1]`
∴ 6,96,150 x 0.1= C[(1.1)4 – 1]
∴ 69,615 = C[1.4641 – 1]
∴ 69,615 = C(0.4641)
∴ C = `(69, 615)/(0.4641)`
∴ C = 1,50,000
∴ Sum of ₹1,50,000 should be invested every year.
