 Questions 1-3:
Mr. Shyam wants to buy a watch which is priced at Rs. 40,500. The watch is also
available at Rs. 20,000 down payment and the monthly installments of Rs. 1400 per
month for 2 years or Rs. 16,000 down payment and a monthly installment of Rs.
1100 per month for 3 years. Mr. Shyam has with him Rs. 10,000 only. He wants to
borrow the balance money of the down payment from a private firm. The terms of
that private firm are:

If Rs. 5000 is borrowed for a period of 12 months, the rate of interest is 20 %. The
interest will be calculated on the whole amount for the whole year itself. Thus the
borrower needs to pay an amount of Rs. 500 per month for 12 months, because
5000 is the principal amount + 1000 as the interest rate.

If more than Rs. 9,000 is borrowed for 1 year, the rate of interest is 25 % and is
calculated in exactly way as given above.
