Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
\begin{aligned} & {\text{Rate of interest}} \Rightarrow {\text{ 10% = }}\frac{1}{{10}} \\ & {\text{Each installment of 2 years}} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{{10}}{{11}} \times \frac{{\left( {10 + 11} \right)}}{{11}} \times {\text{ Installment = P}}{\text{.A}} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{{10}}{{11}} \times \frac{{\left( {10 + 11} \right)}}{{11}} \times {\text{ Installment = 210}} \\ & \Rightarrow {\text{Installment = 121}} \\\end{aligned}
