Find the last installment?
Que: Rohan borrows Rs 3600 for 6 months at 15% per annum simple interest and pays Rs 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600 at the end of the first to fifth month respectively. Find the amount of his last installment.
(a) 712.25 ₹
(b) 698.75 ₹
(c) 674.25 ₹
(d) 756.75 ₹
Solution: 15% Annual= (15/12)%= (5/4)% monthly
(5/4)%= (5/4)×(1/100)= 1/80
It means 1 rs monthly interest on a principal of 80 rs.
In 6 months, the amount of 3600 rs becomes= 3600+3600×(1/80)×6=3870 rs
In five months, 100 rs becomes=100+100×(1/80)×5=(100+6.25) rs
In four months, 200 rs becomes=200+200×(1/80)×4=(200+10) rs
In three months, 400 rs becomes=400+400×(1/80)×3=(400+15) rs
In two months, 800 rs becomes=800+800×(1/80)×2=(800+20) rs
In one month, 1600 rs becomes=1600+1600×(1/80)×1=(1600+20) rs
Total= (100+200+400+800+1600)+(6.25+10+15+20+20)
=3171.25 rs
The amount of the last installment= 3870–3171.25= 698.75 rs
