Solution:

a) 17000

b) 18560

c) 17280

d) 21560

Solution:

Let each instalment be ₹x

Value of ₹26400 at the end of the first year = 26400 × 1.2 i.e. ₹31680

As Irfan repaid ₹x at the end of the first year, he has to repay the value of the balance of ₹ (31680 − x) at the end of the second year

⇒ 1⋅2 (31680 − x) = x

∴ x = 17280
