Solution
Deposit per month P = ₹ 2000
Rate of interest R = 8%
Interest earned, I = ₹ 1040
Let n months be the length of time for which money is invested.
Then, by formula
I = `(P xx n(n + 1))/(2 xx 12) xx r/100`
1040 = `2000 xx (n(n + 1))/(2 xx 12) xx 8/100`
1040 = `(20 xx n xx (n + 1))/3`
52 × 3 = n2 + n
n2 + n – 156 = 0
n2 + 13n – 12n – 156 = 0
n(n + 13) – 12(n + 13) = 0
(n – 12)(n + 13) = 0
n = 12 ...(∵ n = –13, is not possible)
As a result, the time period for which money is invested is 12 months or 1 year.
