Solution
Given that Ranbir borrows Rs. 20000 at 12% compound interest.
For the first year,
Interest I = `(20000 xx 1 xx 12)/100`
= Rs. 2400
Thus, amount after one year = Rs. 20000 + Rs. 2400
= Rs. 22400
∴ Money repaid = Rs. 8400
∴ Balance = Rs. 22400 – Rs. 8400
= Rs. 14000
For the second year,
Interest I = `(14000 xx 1 xx 12)/100`
= Rs. 1680
Thus the amount = Rs. 14000 + Rs. 1680
= Rs. 15680
Ranbir paid Rs. 9680 at the end of second year.
∴ Loan outstanding at the beginning of the third year Rs. (15680 – 9680) = Rs. 6000
