Answer
View full question & answer→Interest = Rs 1200
Period $(n)=2$ years $=24$ months
Rate $(r)=6 \%$ p.a
Let monthly deposit = \text { ₹ }P p.m.
$\therefore$ Interest
$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{ P \times n ( n +1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{ r }{100} \\
& 1200=\frac{ P \times 24 \times 25}{24} \times \frac{6}{100}
\end{aligned}
$
$
\Rightarrow 1200=\frac{6}{4} p
$
$
\therefore P=\frac{1200 \times 4}{6}=800
$
$\therefore$ Monthly deposit $=\text { ₹ }800$
and maturity value $= Pxn +$ Interest
$
\begin{aligned}
& =\text { ₹ } 800 \times 24+\text { ₹ }1200 \\
& =\text { ₹ } 19200+\text { ₹ } 1200 \\
& =\text { ₹ }20400 .
\end{aligned}
