What is the balance that is paid in 3rd year?

Options:

₹47460

₹46475

₹25725

₹25000

Correct Answer:

₹46475

Explanation:

₹100000 is to be paid to Z
In 1st year interest will be 100000*10/100= 10000
Amount to be paid in 1st year ₹37500, after this balance will be ₹110000-37500= ₹72500
In 2nd year interest will be 72500*10/100= 7250
Amount to be paid in 2nd year ₹37500, after this balance will be ₹79750-37500= ₹42250
In 3rd year interest will be 42250*10/100= 4225
So, amount to be paid in last year is 42250+4225= ₹46475
