Solution
Installment per month (P) = Rs. 400
Number of months (n) = n
Let rate of interest (r) = 8% p.a.
∴ `S.I. = P xx (n(n + 1))/(2 xx 12) xx r/100`
= `400 xx (n(n + 1))/24 xx 8/100`
= Rs. `(4n(n + 1))/3`
Maturity value = Rs. (400 × n) + Rs. `(4n(n + 1))/3`
Given maturity value = Rs. 16,176
Then Rs. (400 × n) + Rs. `(4n(n + 1))/3` = Rs. 16,176
⇒ 1200n + 4n2 + 4n = Rs. 48,528
⇒ 4n2 + 1204n = Rs. 48,528
⇒ n2 + 301n – 12132 = 0
⇒ (n + 337)(n – 36) = 0
⇒ n = –337 or n = 36
Then number of months = 36 months
= 3 years
