A loan of Rs. 12300 at 5% per annum compound interest, is to be repaid in two equal annual installments at the end of every year. Find the amount of each installment ?

a) Rs. 6651
b) Rs. 6615
c) Rs. 6516
d) Rs. 6156

Answer: b
Explanation: $$5\% = \frac{1}{{20}} = \frac{{21 \to {\text{ Installment}}}}{{20 \to {\text{ Principal}}}}$$
Year         Principal         Installment  
⇒ I 20×21 21×21 ……(i)
⇒ II 400→ 441 …..(ii)
Since, installment is equal, hence multiply equation (i) by 21
Total principal = 420 + 400 = 820
820 units = Rs. 12300
1 units = Rs. 15
441 units = Rs. 6615
Each installment = Rs. 6615
