Solution

Sum borrowed = ₹ 12000

Rate (R) = 10% p.a. compound annually

Time (T) = 2 years

Interest for the first year =`"PRT"/100`

`=(12000xx10xx1)/100`

= ₹ 1200

(i) Amount = ₹ 12,000 + 1,200 = ₹ 13,200

Amount paid = ₹ 8,000

(ii) balance amount = ₹ 13,200 − 8,000 = ₹ 5,200

(iii) ∴ Principal for the second year = ₹5,200

(iv) Interest for the second year = `(5200xx10xx1)/100`

= ₹ 520

∴ Amount = ₹ 5200 + 520 = ₹ 5720
