Property value = ₹ 12,50,000
Rate of premium, r = ₹ 3%
If property is fully insured, the policy value is same as property value therefore policy value = `square`
Premium = `"r"/100 xx "policy value"`
= `square/100 xx 12,50,000`
= `square`
Policy value = ₹ 80,000
Period of policy = 20 years
Amount of money paid in 10 years = `square`
Annualized average rate per bonus = ₹ 20 per thousand per year
For one year, bonus = `square/1000 xx 80,000`
= ₹ 1,600
Bonus for 10 years = `10 xx square`
= ₹ 16,000
Total amount after 10 years = `square + 16000`
= ₹ `square`
