What annual instalment will discharge a debt of Rs. 3,658 due in four years at 12% simple interest per annum?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs.775.

Installment = (100P)/[100T + RT(T - 1)/2]

= (100 × 3658)/[100 × 4 + 12 × 4 × (4 - 1)/2]

= (100 × 3658)/[400 + 72]

= 365800/472

= 775
