₹125000 is due and ₹75000 is paid immediately. On what base amount will interest on loan be charged?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50000

Interest on a loan is charged on the amount that remains unpaid during the relevant period. The total amount due is ₹1,25,000, but ₹75,000 is paid immediately. After this payment, the outstanding balance is calculated by subtraction: ₹1,25,000 − ₹75,000 = ₹50,000. It is this unpaid balance that continues as the retiring partner’s loan.

Therefore, option A, ₹50,000, is the correct base amount for subsequent interest calculation, assuming the payment occurs before the interest period being considered. Option B would charge interest on the full amount even after part payment. Option C uses the amount already paid, which is no longer outstanding, and option D incorrectly adds the two amounts. The key rule is to calculate interest on the outstanding loan, not on amounts already settled.
