Neha borrowed Rs. 24000 from the State Bank of India to buy a scooter. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum compounded annually, what payment will she have to make after 2 years 3 months?

Present value = Rs.24000


Interest rate = 10 % per annum


Time = 2 years 3 month = (2 + 1/4) years = 2 years.


Amount (A) = P (1 + R/100)n × [1 + (1/4 × R)/100]


[Where, P = Present value


R = Annual interest rate


n = Time in years]


A = 24000 (1 + 10/100)2 × [1 + (1/4 × 10)/100]


A = 24000 (1 + 1/10)2 × [1 + 1/40]


A = 24000 (11/10)2 × [41/40]


A = 24000 × 121/100 × 41/40


A = 24 × 121 × 41/4


A = 6 × 121 × 41


A = 29766


Amount = Rs.29766


Neha should pay Rs.157464 to the bank after 2 years 3 months.
