Rate of interest = 5% p.c.p.a.If time 3 years than CI−SI = P[(R100)3+3(R100)2]⇒122=P[(5100)3+3(5100)2]⇒122=P(1251000000+7510000)⇒122=P[125+75001000000]⇒122=P[75251000000]⇒P=122×10000007625⇒Rs. 16000
Total cost of the flat = Rs. 55000.
Down payment = Rs. 4275
Balance = Rs. (55000 - 4275) = Rs. 50725
Rate of interest = 85 per half year
Let the value of each instalment be Rs. x
P.W. of Rs. x due 6 months hence + P.W. of Rs. x due 1 year hence + P.W. of Rs. x due 11/2 years hence = 50725
According to the questioncompounded half yearlyRate = R2Time = 2T3Amount = P(1+R2×100)3⇒2315.25=2000(1+R2×100)3⇒2315.252000=(1+R2×100)3⇒231525200000=(1+R2×100)3⇒92618000=(1+R2×100)3⇒(2120)3=(1+R2×100)3⇒1+R200=2120⇒R = 10%
