Solution
For 1st half - year :
P = Rs. 12,000; R = 10 % and T = `1/2` year
Interest = Rs. `[12,000 xx 10 xx 1]/[100 xx 2]` = Rs. 600
Amount = Rs. 12,000 + Rs. 600 = Rs. 12,600
Money paid at the end of 1st half year = Rs. 4,000
Balance money for 2nd half-year = Rs. 12,600 - Rs. 4,000 = Rs. 8,600
For 2nd half - year :
P = Rs. 8,600; R = 10% and T = `1/2` year
Interest = Rs. `[ 8,600 xx 10 xx 1]/[100 xx 2]` =Rs. 430
Amount = Rs. 8,600 + Rs. 430 = Rs. 9,030
Money paid at the end of 2nd half-year = Rs. 4,000
Balance money for 3rd half - year = Rs. 9,030 - Rs. 4,000 = Rs. 5,030
For 3rd half-year
P = Rs. 5,030; R = 10% and T = `1/2` year
Interest = Rs. `[5,030 xx 10 xx 1]/[100 xx 2]` = Rs. 251.50
Amount = Rs. 5,030 + Rs. 251.50 = Rs. 5,281.50
