Given that,

  • Principle $=210000$
  • Rate $ = 10 \%$

The amount after $1$ year on the compound interest.

Apply the formula find the amount on the compound interest $\boxed {\text{A} =\text{P} \left( 1+ \frac{R}{100} \right)^{T} } $

$ \text{A} = 210000 \left( 1+ \frac {10}{100} \right)^{1}$

$  \Rightarrow  \text{A} = 210000 \times \frac {11}{10}$

$ \Rightarrow \text{A} = 21000 \times 11$

$ \Rightarrow  \text{A} = 231000$

Let $x$ be the first installment.

So, due ammount $= \text{Rs.}\;231000-x$

And the due amount will be the principle of second-year $= (231000-x)$, and the rate will be the same as the first year.

Now, amount $\text{A} = (231000-x)  \left( 1+ \frac {10}{100} \right)^{1} $

$ \Rightarrow \text{A} =  (231000-x) \times \frac {11}{10}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac {2541000-11x} {10}$  (This amount is for the second installment)

We know that, installment for year $1 = $ installment for year $2= \text{Rs.}\;x$

$ \frac {2541000-11x}{10} = x$

$ \Rightarrow 2541000 – 11x = 10x $

$ \Rightarrow 2541000 = 21x$

$ \Rightarrow x = 121000 $

$ \therefore $ Each installment $  = \text {Rs.}\; 121000$

Correct Answer $: \text {Rs.}121000 $
