Hi readers,

installments

Ques 1.

An electric iron is sold for Rs 110 cash or Rs 50 cash down payment followed by Rs 62 after a month. Find the rate of interest charged under the installment plan.
Ans 1.  Present worth of the amount to be  paid in installment = Rs (110-50) = Rs 60
Let the rate of interest be r% p.a.
After a month the worth of Rs 60 would be : Rs ( 60 + 20 xr /100 x 1/12)
