Calculation:

Rate = 2% pa

Year    
I 100 102
II 1002

1022


As both installments are equal multiply I by 102, So

Year    
I 100 × 102 1022
II 1002

1022

Total principle is 10200 + 10000 = 20200
According to the problem

20200 = 6000

1 = 6000/20200

1022 = 6000/20200 × 1022

3090.30

Each installment equals to Rs. 3090.30.

∴ Option 2 is the correct answer.
