(i) For first year :
P = ₹ 8000
R = 7%
T = 1 year
I = = ₹ 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 = = ₹ 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.
