Solution

Here, P = ₹ 12500; R = 12% ; N = 3 years

A = P `(1 + R/100)^N`

   = `12500 (1 + 12/100)^3`

   = `12500 ((100 + 12)/100)^3`

    = `12500 (112/100)^3`

    = `12500 ((28 xx 4)/(25 xx 4))^3`

    = `12500 (28/25)^3`

    = `12500 xx 28/25 xx 28/25 xx 28/25`

     = `20/25 xx 28 xx 28 xx 28`

     = `0.8 xx 28 xx 28 xx 28`

    = ₹ `17561.60`

Hence, he should pay an amount of  ₹ 17561.60 to clear his loan.
