101. Given,
cost of tractor =? 12,000
Amount paid =? 62,000
Amount unpaid =? 12000 -? 6000 =? 6000
So, number of instalments =
?
= 12 = n
Now, interest on 1st installment = interest on unpaid amount ( i.e.? 6000) for 1 Year.
=? = ?720
Similarly,
Interest on 2nd installment = interest on (? 6000 -? 500) for the next 1 year
=? = ?660
And,
Interest on 2nd installment =?
=? 600
Here, Total (interest per) installment paid =? (720 + 660 + 600 + ……. upto 12 terms)
{ 720 + 660 + 600 …….is an A.P. of a = 720, d = 660 - 720

First term = a
Common difference = d
Given: a + 5d = 2 . (1)
Product (P) = (a1a5a4) = a (a + 4d) (a + 3d)
Using (1)
P = (2 – 5d) (2 – d) (2 – 2d)
-> = (2 – 5d) (2 –d) (– 2) + (2 – 5d) (2 – 2d) (– 1) + (– 5) (2 – d) (2 – 2d)
= –2 [ (d – 2) (5d – 2) + (d – 1) (5d – 2) + (d – 1) (5d – 2) + 5 (d – 1) (d – 2)]
