Let n be number of months for recurring deposit
Principal P = 2000 per month
Rate of interest, r = 10% per annum
Recurring deposit interest I is given as
![begin mathsize 14px style I space equals space P space cross times fraction numerator n left parenthesis n plus 1 right parenthesis over denominator 2 cross times 12 end fraction cross times r over 100 space equals space 2000 space cross times fraction numerator n left parenthesis n plus 1 right parenthesis over denominator 24 end fraction cross times 10 over 100 end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/b4bac4d4df3e3387d3e3e2601d41657e.png)

If total month paid after n months is Rs .83100, then interest I is calculated as
![begin mathsize 14px style I space equals space 83100 space minus space 2000 space cross times n space end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/0cd49e18e0e8e4d26b5fe3351346e5a4.png)
By equating (1) and (2) , ![begin mathsize 14px style space 25 over 3 n left parenthesis n plus 1 right parenthesis space equals space 83100 minus 2000 n end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/a53928315aa176409073568151f8f26b.png)

![begin mathsize 14px style n squared plus 241 n space minus 9972 space equals space 0 end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/0be812dd60aac56160709c8835acb64a.png)
By solving above quadratic equation , we get n = 36 months.
