A withdrew ₹6000 at the beginning of each quarter. Interest on drawings is 8% per annum. What is the interest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹1200

The direct answer is A, ₹1200. Four quarterly withdrawals of ₹6000 are made at the beginning of the quarters, so total drawings are 4\times6000=₹24000. For beginning-of-quarter drawings, the four amounts remain outstanding for 12, 9, 6 and 3 months respectively. Their average period is (12+9+6+3)/4=30/4=7.5 months. Therefore interest is ₹24000\times8\%\times\frac{7.5}{12}=₹1200. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹960, effectively uses 6 months and ignores that the drawings are made at the beginning of quarters. Option C, ₹1080, uses 6.75 months and is not the correct average. Option D, ₹840, uses only 5.25 months and understates the time. The phrase beginning of each quarter is essential: beginning drawings earn interest for longer than end-of-quarter drawings. A useful exam cue is that equal quarterly drawings at the beginning normally use an average period of 7.5 months.
