12. Prashant borrowed ₹ $35,000$ at $12$ % p.a. compounded semi-annually. Find the amount he needs to pay back at the end of $1½$ years.

Solution:-

Given

Prashant borrowed ₹ $35,000$ at $12$ % p.a.

p = ₹ $35,000$ , t = years = $1½$ = $1.5$ years, r = $12$ % p.a.

Amount =

$P{{\left( 1\text{ }+\text{ }r/100 \right)}^{2t}}$

Amount =

$35,000\text{ }{{\left( 1\text{ }+\text{ }\left( 12/200 \right) \right)}^{3}}$

Amount = ₹ $41,685.56$

Hence, Prashant has to pay back ₹ $41,685.56$ at the end $1½$ of years.
