A retiring partner's loan is ₹90,000 and interest is 8 percent per annum for 6 months. What is the interest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹3,600

The governing concept is time-apportioned simple interest on the amount outstanding. Although the quoted rate is annual, the loan remains outstanding for only six months, so time must be taken as 6/12 year, or one-half year. Apply the formula: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time ÷ 100. Therefore, interest = ₹90,000 × 8 × 6 ÷ (100 × 12) = ₹3,600. Equivalently, annual interest is ₹7,200, and half of it for six months is ₹3,600. Hence, option A is correct. Option B applies the full annual interest for twelve months, option C does not correspond to the stated principal, rate, and period, and option D assumes an unsupported 10 percent annual rate. The calculation assumes no interim change in principal.
