Question:

What annual installment will discharge a debt of total amount ₹4725 in 3 years at 5% simple interest ?

Options:

750

1500

1700

2300

Correct Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Let each installment be x, then

⇒ x + {x + \(\frac{x × 5 × 1}{100}\)} + {x + \(\frac{x × 5 × 2}{100}\)}  = 4725

⇒ \(\frac{5x}{100}\) + \(\frac{10x}{100}\)  + 3x = 4725

⇒ \(\frac{315x}{100}\) = 4725

⇒ x = 1500
