      decided to return it in two equal yearly instalments. If the interest rate is 30% per annum compounded annually, what will be the value of each instalment?
      A Rs. 26,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 16,460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 26,460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 36,560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      P = x ÷ [1 + (R/100)] + x ÷ [1 + (R/100)]²
      So, x ÷ (1.3) + x ÷ (1.3)² = 36,000

      ⇒ (1.3x + x) ÷ 1.69 = 36,000

      ⇒ 2.3x ÷ 1.69 = 36,000

      ⇒ x = 36,000 × (1.69 ÷ 2.3)

      ⇒ x = 26,460
