Solution

Number of installments = n = 12

First installment = a = Rs. 3000

Depreciation in installment = d = –100

i Amount of installment paid in the 9th month 

= t9

= a + 8d

= 3000 + 8 × (–100)

= 3000 – 800

= Rs. 2200

ii. Total amount paid in the installment scheme

= S12

= `12/2 [2 xx 3000 + 11 xx (-100)]`

= 6[6000 – 1100]

= 6 × 4900

= Rs. 29,400
