Solution
Interest for first year:
S.I. = `("P" xx "r" xx "t")/100`
S.I. = `(12000 xx 15 xx 1)/100`
S.l. = 1800
Principal amount for second year = Rs ( 12,000 + 1800) = Rs 13,800
Ramesh paid =Rs x (say)
Therefore, new principal = Rs 13,800 - x
A=Rs 9 200 ; r = 15 % ; n = 1 year
`"A" = "P" (1 + "r"/100)^"n"`
Rs 9,200 = Rs (13,800 - x)`(1 + 15/100)`
Rs 9 ,200 = Rs (13, 800- x) × 1.15
Rs 9,200 = Rs 15, 870 - Rs 1.15 x
1.15 x = Rs (15870 - 9,200)
`"x" = "Rs" 6670/1.15`
x = Rs 5, 800
Therefore, Amount Ramesh paid at the end of first year = Rs 5,800
