Answer
View full question & answer→Given that, cumulative deposit per month $=$ Rs $1200 ,$ Period $=t$ Months, $R=9 \%$, Interest amount= Rs. $5328$
Money deposited $=$ Monthly value $x$ No ofMonths $=1200 x$ t $=$ Rs $1200 t$
Total Principal for 1 Month $=\frac{1200 \times( t )( t +1)}{2}$
$=600 t^2+600 t$
$\text { Interest }=\frac{\text { Principal for One month } \times R }{12 \times 100}\ldots (1)$
Putting Values in (1), we get
$ 5328=\frac{\left(600 t^2+600 t\right) \times 9}{1200}$
$\Rightarrow 5328=\left(4.5 t^2+4.5 t\right)$
$\Rightarrow 4.5 t^2+4.5 t-5328=0$
$\Rightarrow t=34 \text { months (approximately) } $
Thus, she paid $34$ installments.
