    A builder borrows Rs. 2550 to be paid back with compound interest at the rate of 4% per annum by the end of 2 yr in two equal yearly instalments. How much will each instalment be?

    A) Rs. 1352           

    B) Rs. 1377

    C) Rs. 1275                       

    D) Rs. 1283

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    A = Rs. 2550 R = Rs. 4% per annum, n = 2yr Let each of the two equal instalments be Rs. x. \[\text{Present worth}=\frac{\text{Instalment}}{{{\left( 1+\frac{r}{100} \right)}^{n}}}\]             \[{{P}_{1}}=\frac{x}{{{\left( 1+\frac{4}{100} \right)}^{1}}}=\frac{x}{1+\frac{1}{25}}=\frac{x}{\frac{26}{25}}\] Or         \[{{P}_{1}}=\frac{25}{26}x\] Similarly, \[{{P}_{2}}={{\left( \frac{25}{26} \right)}^{2}}x=\frac{625}{676}x\] \[{{P}_{1}}+{{P}_{2}}=A\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{25}{26}x=\frac{625}{676}x=2550\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{(650+625)x}{676}=2550\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{1275}{676}x=2550\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=2550\times \frac{676}{1275}\]             \[x=Rs.1352\]
