Amit borrows a sum of ₹ 8,000 at 10% p.a. compound interest for 4 years. He repays ₹ 2,800 at the end of the first year and ₹ 2,600 at the end of the second year. To clear the loan, how much should he pay after 4 years, interest being compounded yearly? Correct Answer <span style="">₹ 4,840 </span>
Given:
Amount borrowed = Rs. 8000
Concept Used:
Amount = P (1 + R/100)T
P = Principal
R = Rate of interest
T= time
Calculation:
Amount left after 1st year = 8000 + (10% of 8000) – 2800
⇒ 8800 - 2800
⇒ 6000
Amount left after 2nd year = 6000 + (10% of 6000) – 2600
⇒ 6600 - 2600
⇒ 4000
Amount to be paid at the end of 4th year = 4000(1 + 1/10)2
⇒ 4000 × 121/100
⇒ 4840
∴ At the end of the 4th year he pay Rs. 4840 to clear all his dues.
