    Solution

    Cash Price=30000 Less Cash Down Payment =           (7000) Balance=             23000 First Installment=             (8000) Balance=              15000 Second Installment=  (8000) Balance=               7000 Third Installment=              (8000) Balance=              (1000) Now Interest on First year = (23000 × r ×1 )/100 Interest on Second year = (15000 × r ×1)/100 Interest of Third year = (7000 × r ×1 )/100  Now, according to the question (23000 × r ×1 )/100+  (15000 × r ×1)/100+  (7000 × r ×1 )/100=1000  (1000r (23+15+7))/100=1000  45r/100=1  r=  100/45=2(2/9)%
