Solution
Given that Ranbir borrows Rs.20000 at 12% compound interest.
For First year
Interest I=20000×1×12100=Rs.2400
Thus amount after one year =Rs.20000+Rs.2400=Rs.22400
∴ Money repaid =Rs.8400
∴ Balance =Rs.22400−Rs.8400=Rs.14000
For Second year
Interest I=14000×1×12100=Rs.1680
Thus amount after one year =Rs.14000+Rs.1680=Rs.15680
Ranbir paid Rs.9680 at the end of second year.
∴ Loan outstanding at the beginning of the third year =Rs.15680−Rs.9680=Rs.6000
