Question

What annual instalment will discharge a debit of Rs. 5,664 in 4 years at 12% simple interest?

A.

Rs. 1,230

B.

Rs. 1,210

C.

Rs. 1,200

D.

Rs. 1,220

Correct option is C

Given:
Total debt (Principal) = Rs. 5,664
Interest rate (R) = 12% per annum
Time (T) = 4 years
The installments are paid annually.
Formula Used:
Formula for instalment on simple interest is:
Equal instalment = A×200T[200+(T1)×r]\frac{ A \times 200}{T[200+(T-1)\times r]}​​
Where:
A is the amount after T years.
r is the annual interest rate.
T is the number of years.
Solution:
Putting the values in the Formula; 
Installment = 
5664×2004[200+(41)×12] 5664×2004×236 5664×2004×236=1200\frac{ 5664 \times 200}{4[200+(4-1)\times 12]} \\ \ \\\frac{ 5664 \times 200}{4 \times236} \\ \ \\ \frac{ 5664 \times 200}{4 \times236} = 1200​​

Alternate Method:
Instalment Amount
100 100
100 112
100 124
100 136
400 472
Required result = 472 ..... 5664 
than 400 ........ 5664472×400=4800\frac{5664}{472}\times 400 = 4800  
Now , the installment is in 4 equal part = 48004=1200\frac{4800}{4} = 1200​​
