Sum

Solution

Here, P = Rs.10,000 ; r = 8°/o p.a. ; t = `2 1/4` years

For the first year: t = 1 year

S.I. = `("P" xx "r" xx "t")/100`

S.I. = `("Rs"  10000 xx 8 xx 1)/100`

S.I. = Rs800

A=P+S.l.

=Rs ( 10,000 + 800) =Rs 10,800 =new principal

For the second year: t = 1 year; P=Rs 10,800

S.I. = `("P" xx "r" xx "t")/100`

S.I. = `("Rs"  10800 xx 8 xx 1)/100`

S.I. = Rs864

A=P+S.l.

A=Rs ( 10,800 + 864) =Rs 11,664 =new principal

For the third year: t = 1/4 year; P=Rs 11,664

S.I. = `("P" xx "r" xx "t")/100`

S.I. = `("Rs"  11664 xx 8 xx 1)/(100 xx 4)`

S.I. = Rs 233.28

A=P+S.l.

A=Rs ( 11,664 + 233.28) =Rs 11,897 .28

C.l. = Interest in first year +interest in second year +interest in third year

C.l. =Rs (800 + 864 +233.28) =Rs 1,897 .28
