A = P(1 + r/100)t

Where, A = Amount, P = Principle, r = %rate, t = time

Given, sum of Rs.3310 is to be paid back in 3 equal annual instalments.

Let the annual installment be ‘a’.

$(\Rightarrow 3310{\left( {1 + \frac{{10}}{{100}}} \right)^3} = a + a\left( {1 + \frac{{10}}{{100}}} \right) + a{\left( {1 + \frac{{10}}{{100}}} \right)^2})$

⇒ 3310 × 1.13 = a + 1.1a + 1.21a

⇒ 3.31a = 3310 × 1.13

⇒ a = Rs. 1331
