Correct Option: D
Let each equal annual instalment be p.
First instalment is paid after 1 year and hence will remain with the lender for the remaining (4 – 1) = 3 years. Similarly, second instalment will remain with the lender for 2 years, third instalment for 1 year and the final fourth instalment remain p as such.
A = A1 + A2 + A3 + A4
We can find the required answer with the help of given formula ,
A = P | ![]() | ![]() | |
100 |
⇒ A = p | ![]() | + | + | + | ![]() | ||||
100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
⇒ 12900 = p | ![]() | ![]() | |
100 |
⇒ 12900 = | p | |
100 |
⇒ p = | |
430 |
⇒ p = ₹ 3000
