Solution

For 1st half-year

P=Rs12,000; R=10% and T=1/2 year

Interest= Rs= Rs600

Amount= RS12,000 + Rs600= Rs12,600

Money paid at the end of 1st half year=Rs4,000

Balance money for 2nd half-year= Rs12,600- Rs4,000=Rs8,600

For 2nd half-year

P=Rs8,600; R=10% and T=1/2 year

Interest=Rs=Rs430

Amount= Rs8,600+ Rs430= Rs9,030

Money paid at the end of 2nd half-year=Rs4,000

Balance money for 3rd half-year= Rs9,030- Rs4,000=Rs5,030

For 3rd half-year

P=Rs5,030; R=10% and T=1/2 year

Interest = Rs= Rs251.50

Amount= Rs5,030 + Rs251.50= Rs5,281.50
