The rate at which a sum becomes four times of itself in 25 years at S.I.,will be:
Let sum = x. Then, S.I. = 3x
Rate = `[100 ** (S.I.) / P**T] %`
= `[100 ** (3x) / x ** 25]% = 12%`
What annual installment will discharge a debt of Rs 1092 due in 3 years at 12% simple interest?
Let each instalment be Rs.x .
Then, `[x + (x ** 12 ** 1)/100] + [ x + (x **12 ** 2)/100] + x =1092`
`( (28x)/25 ) + ( (31x)/25 ) + x = 1092`
`(28x + 31x + 25x) = (1092 ** 25)`
`x = (1092 ** 25)/84= 325`
Each instalment = Rs. 325
