Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Given, $ r=20 $ % If a borrower pays the sum in parts, then he is paying in two instalments annually. Let value of each be Rs. x. Then, $ \frac{x}{1+( \frac{r}{100} )}+\frac{x}{{{( 1+\frac{r}{100} )}^{2}}}=11000 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{x}{1+\frac{20}{100}}+\frac{x}{{{( 1+\frac{20}{100} )}^{2}}}=11000 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{x}{\frac{6}{5}}+\frac{x}{\frac{36}{25}}=11000 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x( \frac{5}{6}+\frac{25}{36} )=11000 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{11000\times 36}{55} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=Rs\text{. 7200} $
