Solution

P = Rs. 12,500, R = 8 °/o p.a.

Interest for first year 

= `("Rs"  12500 xx 8 xx 1)/100`

= Rs 1,000 

Amount due after 1st year =Rs. 12,500 +Rs. 1,000 =Rs 13,500 

Amount paid after 1st year= Rs. 7,500 

Balance amount= Rs. 13,500 - Rs. 7,500 =Rs. 6,000

Interest for second year when r = 10°/o p.a. 

`=( "Rs"  6000 xx 10 xx 1)/100`

= Rs 600 

Amount due after 2nd year

= Rs. 6,000 + Rs. 600 =Rs 6.600

Meera has to return Rs 6,600 to Rajeev at the end of second year
