A person closes his account in an investment scheme by withdrawing Rs. 10000. One year ago, he had withdrawn Rs. 6000. Two years ago he had withdrawn Rs. 5000. Three years ago he had not withdrawn any money. How much money had he deposited approximately at the time of opening the account 4 years ago, if the annual rate of compound interest is 10% Correct Answer Rs. 15470
Calculation:
Suppose the person has deposited Rs. X at the time of opening account. After one year, he had
Rs. (x + (x × 10 × 1)/100) = Rs. 11x/10
After two years, he had
Rs. ((11x/10) + (11x/10) × (10 × 1)/100) = 121x/100
After withdrawing Rs 5000 from Rs. 121x, the balance
= Rs. (121x – 500000)/100
After 3 years, he had
(121x – 500000)/100 + (121x – 500000)/100 × (10 × 1)/100
= (11 × (121x – 500000))/1000
After withdrawing 6000 from above, the balance
= Rs. (1331x/1000) – 11500
After 4 years, he had
Rs. (11/10) × ((1331x/1000) – 11500) – 10000 = 0
⇒ Rs. 15470
