Question

a farmer borrows Rs.1000 and agrees to repay with a total interest of Rs.140 in 12 installment each installment being less than the preceding installment by rs.10. what should be his first installment?

Answer 1

Answer:

As each installment being less that the preceding installment by Rs. 10 the

installments are in A.P.

S12 = 1000 + 140 = 1140

n = 12, d = -10

`s_n=n/2[2a+(n-1)d]`

`s_12=12/2[2a+(11)(-10)]`

`1140=6[2a-110]`

`1140/6=[2a-110]`

190=[2a-110]

2a=190+110

2a=300

a=300/2

a=150

The first installment = Rs. 150.
