Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Borrows amount = Rs. 5000
Rate of interest $ =8 $ %
Number of instalments $ =3 $
According to the question,
Balance $ =Rs\text{. }{ 5000\times {{( 1+\frac{8}{100} )}^{3}} } $
$ -{ 1000\times {{( 1+\frac{8}{100} )}^{2}}+1000\times ( 1+\frac{8}{100} )+1000 } $ $ =[ ( 5000\times \frac{27}{25}\times \frac{27}{25}\times \frac{27}{25} ) ] $
$ -( 1000\times \frac{27}{25}\times \frac{27}{25}+1000\times \frac{27}{25}+1000 ) $
$ =[ \frac{157464}{25}-( \frac{5832}{5}+1080+1000 ) ] $
$ =( \frac{157464}{25}-\frac{16232}{5} ) $
$ =6298.56-3246.40=3052.16 $
