Solution
Interest for first year :
S.I. = `("P" xx "r" xx "t")/100`
S.I. = `(32000 xx 12 xx 1)/100`
S.I. = 3,840
Principal amount for second year = Rs (32,000 + 3,840) = Rs 35,840
Rajan paid =Rs x (say)
Therefore, new principal = Rs 35,840 - x
A=Rs 17,920 ; r = 12% ; n= 1 year
`"A" = "P" (1 + "r"/100)^"n"`
Rs 17,920 = Rs (35,840 - x)`(1 + 12/100)`
Rs 17, 920 = Rs (35,840 - x ) × 1.12
Rs 17, 920 = Rs 40,140.80 - Rs1.12 x
1.12 x =Rs(40,140.80 - 17, 920)
`"x" = ("Rs" 22220.80)/1.12`
x = Rs 19, 840
Therefore, Amount Rajan paid at the end of first year = Rs 19,840
