View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Let each instalment be Rs.x . 1st year = [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] 2nd year = [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] 3rd year = x Then, [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] + [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] + x =1092 3x + ( 24x/100 ) + ( 12x/100 ) = 1092 336x =109200 Therefore, x = 325 Each instalment = Rs. 325
