Solution
P = Rs. 18,000, R = 12 °/o p.a.
Interest for first year
`= ("Rs" 18000 xx 12 xx 1)/100`
= Rs 2,160
Amount due after 1" year
= Rs. 18,000 + Rs. 2, 160 = Rs 20,160
Amount paid after 1st year = Rs. 5,250
Balance amount = Rs. 20, 160 - Rs. 5,250 = Rs. 14,910
Interest for seoond year
`= ("Rs" 14910 xx 12 xx 1)/100`
= Rs 1789.20
Amount due after 2nd year
=Rs. 14,910 + Rs. 1,789.20
= Rs 16,699.20
Amount paid after 2nd year = Rs. 5,875
Balance amount = Rs. 16,699.20- Rs. 5,875 = Rs. 10,824.20
Interest for third year
`= ("Rs" 10824.20 xx 12 xx 1)/100`
= Rs 1,298.904
Amount due after 3rd year
= Rs. 10,824.20 + Rs. 1,298.904 = Rs 12, 123.10
Amount paid after 3rd year = Rs. 6,875
Balance amount = Rs. 12, 123.10- Rs. 6,875 = Rs. 5,248.104
Interest for fourth year
`= ("Rs" 5248.104 xx 12 xx 1)/100`
= Rs 629.7725
Amount due after 4th year =Rs. 5,248.104 +Rs. 629.7725 = Rs 5877 .876
=Rs 5877.87
Archana needs to pay Rs 5877 .87 to Ritu at the end of 4th year to clear
