Joseph deposited a total of ₹52,500 in a bank in the names of his two daughters aged 15 years and 16 years in such a way that they would get equal amounts when they become 18 years old. If the bank gives 10% compound interest compounded annually, then what is the amount (in ₹) that Joseph had deposited in the name of his younger daughter? |
25,500 24,500 25,000 26,000 |
25,000 |
Amount given to younger daughter = A Amount given to elder daughter = ( 52500 - A ) Amount younger daughter get after 3 years = Amount elder daughter get after 2 years A × ( 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) )³ = (52500-A) × ( 1 + \(\frac{rate }{100}\) )² A × ( 1 + \(\frac{10 }{100}\) )³ = (52500-A) × ( 1 + \(\frac{10 }{100}\) )² A ×\(\frac{11 }{10}\)×\(\frac{11 }{10}\)×\(\frac{11 }{10}\) = ( 52500-A)×\(\frac{11 }{10}\)×\(\frac{11 }{10}\) A ×\(\frac{11 }{10}\) = 52500 - A \(\frac{11A }{10}\) + A = 52500 \(\frac{21A }{10}\) = 52500 A = Rs. 25000 |
