Dear student
It is difficult to calculate without using formula
So, I am showing the solution of the question with the help of
formula
i) Principal=Rs12000After 1 year he paid back Rs 4000Let the rate of interest be r
Hence the principal after 1 year =120001+r100-4000Now it is given that C
I
 for 2nd year=920Hence 120001+r100-40001+r100=120001+r100-4000+9201+r100=120001+r100-4000+920120001+r100-40001+r100=8920+120r8000+120rr100=8920+120r8000+120r-1r100=9208000+120r120r2+8000r-92000=03r2+200r-2300=03r2-30r+230r-2300=03rr-10+230r-10=03r+230r-10=0Since rate cannot be negative
hence r=10∴Rate of interest =10%(ii)Now initial Principal=12000C
I
 for 1st year=120001+10100-12000=13200-12000=Rs1200C
I
 for 2nd year=920Hence sum of principal and interest of both years=12000+1200+920=Rs14120But he paid back 4000Hence amount o debt at the end of 2nd year=14120-4000=Rs10120
