(i) the sum due to Ramesh at the end of the first year.

(ii) the interest he earns for the second year.

(iii) the total amount due to him at the end of the third year.

Answer 1

For 1^st year

P=Rs12,800; R=10% and T= 1year

Interest= Rs= Rs1,280

Amount= Rs12,800+ Rs1,280= Rs14,080

For 2^nd year

P=Rs14,080; R=10% and T= 1 year

Interest= Rs= Rs1,408

Amount= Rs14,080+ Rs1,408= Rs15,488

For 3^rd year

P=Rs15,488; R=10% and T= 1year

Interest= Rs= Rs1,548.80

Amount= Rs15,488+ Rs1,548.80= Rs17,036.80
