Question

Shikha deposited Rs 2000 in a bank which pays 6% simple interest. She withdrew Rs 700 at the end of the first year. What will be her balance after 3 years ?

Answer 1

Rate of interest is given as 6% and Principle amount as Rs2000

Interest after 1 year= P*R*T/100 = 2000*6*1/100 = Rs 120

Net amount at the end of first year= Principle+ interest-Amount withdrawn=2000+120-700= Rs 1420

For the next 2 years, simple interest will be paid at the rate of 6% on the amount of Rs 1420 which is = 1420*6*2/100 =Rs 170.40

Balance after 3 years= 1420+170.40=Rs 1590.40

Answer 2

interest in the first yr=2000*1*6/100=120
so amt after one yr=2120

700 is paid back ,
so remaining amt is 1420
 
after two years interest  will be 1420*6*2/100=170.4

so the balance will be 1420+170.4=1590.40
