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.
