Question 23134: Sir, pl. help to solve this simple interest question.
A man borrowed Rs. 80,000 from a bank at rate 7% per annum. After 2 years, he returned Rs. 30,000. How much balance amount he has to pay at the end of 5th year. Ans is Rs. 71700.

Is this what you mean?
He accumulated simple (not compound) interest on the loan
for two years at 7% annual rate, then he paid off
30000 of the combined pricipal and accumulated interest.
Then he accumulated 7% simple (not compound) interest for
three years on that remaining balance and finally paid
off the entire accumulated balance?

If your answer to this question is , yes, I do not see
how the answer to the question is 71700.
Cheers,
Stan H.
