Solution

P = Rs. 15,000, R = 11 °/o p.a.

Interest for first year 

`= ("Rs"  15000 xx 11 xx 1)/100`

= Rs, 1650 
Amount due after 1st year

= Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 1,650 =Rs 16,650 

Amount paid after 1st year= Rs. 7,550 

Balance amount= Rs. 16,650 - Rs. 7,550 =Rs. 9, 100 

Interest for second year 
`=("Rs"  9100 xx 11 xx 1)/100`

=Rs  1001

Amount paid after 2nd year = Rs. 61 10 1 

Balance amount = Rs. 10, 101 - Rs. 61 101 =Rs. 4,000 

Interest for third year 

= `("Rs"  4000 xx 11 xx 1)/100`

= Rs 440 
Amount due after 3rd year

= Rs. 4,000 + Rs. 440 =Rs 4,440 

Pooja needs to pay Rs 4,440 to Sonali at the end of third year to clear her debt.
