Options:

B) Rs 456
C) Rs 360
D) Rs 250
E) Rs 320
Solution:
Ans: (c) Let each installment = x

550 = \(\cfrac{x}{(1+\cfrac{20}{100})}\)+\(\cfrac{x}{(1+\cfrac{20}{100})^2}\)

\(\Rightarrow\)550 = \(\cfrac{x}{(\cfrac{120}{100})}\)+ \(\cfrac{x}{(\cfrac{120}{100}×\cfrac{120}{100})}\)

\(\Rightarrow\)550 = \(\cfrac{10x}{12}\)+ \(\cfrac{100x}{144}\)
= 550 = \(\cfrac{120x + 100x}{144}\)

\(\Rightarrow\)\(\cfrac{550×144}{220}\)   = x = 360
