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