Answer

(i) For first year :

P = ₹ 8000

R = 7%

T = 1 year

I = P×R×T100=8000×7×1100\dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \dfrac{8000 \times 7 \times 1}{100} = ₹ 560.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 8000 + ₹ 560 = ₹ 8560.

Amount paid back at end of first year = ₹ 3560

Amount left = ₹ 8560 - ₹ 3560 = ₹ 5000.

For second year :

P = ₹ 5000

R = 7%

T = 1 year

I = P×R×T100=5000×7×1100\dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100} = \dfrac{5000 \times 7 \times 1}{100} = ₹ 350.

Amount = P + I = ₹ 5000 + ₹ 350 = ₹ 5350

Hence interest paid in second year = ₹ 350.

(ii) Total interest paid in two years = ₹ 350 + ₹ 560 = ₹ 910.

Hence, total interest paid in two years = ₹ 910.

(iii) Amount of money paid in two years to clear the debt = Amount at end of 2nd year + Money paid back at end of first year

= ₹ 5350 + ₹ 3560 = ₹ 8910.

Hence, total amount of money paid in two years to clear the debt = ₹ 8910.
