Answer 2

Sum borrowed = ₹12000

Rate (R) = 10% p.a. compounded annually

Time (T) = 2 Years

Interest for the first year = PRT/100

= (12000 × 100 × 1)/100 = ₹ 1200

(i) Amount = ₹ 12000 + 1200 = ₹13200

Amount paid = ₹8000

(ii) Balance amount = ₹ 13200 – 800 = ₹5200

(iii) ∴ Principal for the second year = ₹5200

(iv) Interest for the second year = (5200 × 10 ×1)/100

= ₹ 520

∴ Amount = ₹ 5200 + 520 = ₹5720
