Question : What is the amount (in INR) of debt that will be discharged in 6 equal instalments of INR 800 each, if the debt is due in 6 years at 5% per annum?
Option 1: 6,600
Option 2: 7,500
Option 3: 8,000
Option 4: 5,400
Correct Answer: 5,400
Solution : Given: Installment = INR $800$ Rate, $r$ = $5$% Time, $t$ = $6$ years Let the debt be $x$. Installment $=\frac{\text{Debt×100}}{100×t+\frac{r×t(t-1)}{2}}$ ⇒ $800=\frac{100x}{100×6+\frac{5×6(6-1)}{2}}$ ⇒ $800=\frac{100x}{675}$ $\therefore x = 5400 $ Hence, the correct answer is 5,400.

Option 1: 5
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given that Total amount = Rs. 46656, Principal = Rs. 40000, and Rate = 8% Let time be $n$ years. We know that, $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $⇒46656 = 40000 \left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$ $ ⇒\frac{46656}{40000}=\left(1 + \frac{8}{100}\right)^n$ $ ⇒\frac{11664}{10000}=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$ $⇒ (\frac{108}{100})^2=\left( \frac{108}{100}\right)^n$ $\therefore n=2$ Hence, the
