A person has set up a sinking fund in order to have ₹ 20,000 in 10 years for his children's education. The amount to set aside each quarter into an account paying 6% per annum compounded quarterly is: [use (1.015)40=1.8140(1.015)^{40} = 1.8140]

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Quarterly rate i=0.015i = 0.015 and n=40n = 40. From A=R(1+i)n−1iA = R\frac{(1+i)^n - 1}{i}, R=20000(0.015)1.8140−1=3000.8140≈368.55R = \frac{20000(0.015)}{1.8140 - 1} = \frac{300}{0.8140} \approx 368.55.
