37 Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

EMI or equated monthly installment, as the name suggests, is one part of the
equally divided monthly outgoes to clear off an outstanding loan within a
stipulated time frame. The EMI is dependent on multiple factors, such as:
 Principal borrowed
 Rate of interest
 Tenure of the loan
 Monthly/annual resting period
For a fixed interest rate loan, the EMI remains fixed for the entire tenure of the
loan, provided there is no default or part-payment in between. The EMI is used to
pay off both the principal and interest components of an outstanding loan.

Example:
A person amortizes a loan of for renovation of his house by 8 years
mortgage at the rate of p.a. compounded monthly.
(Given
(a) Find the equated monthly installment.
