how to find r in the formula FV=A[(1-1/(1+r)^n )/ r}?

Question

it comes as future value of Annuty of Bond.

Answer 1

Ha! Trial and error.

Use a spreadsheet.

Answer 2

I don't believe there is a formula, nor any analytic method, for solving this equation for r. For particular values of A and n you could set up a spreadsheet to calculate FV for various values of r until you get the value of FV that you want. But you probably thought of that already? If not, do you know how to do it?
