In a ₹90,000 loan, ₹20,000 principal is paid after 7 months. On what amount will interest be charged for the next 5 months?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹70,000

The governing concept is that interest is based on the principal outstanding during the particular period. The opening loan liability is ₹90,000. At the end of seven months, the firm repays ₹20,000 towards principal. Since a principal repayment reduces the amount owed, the revised balance is ₹90,000 − ₹20,000 = ₹70,000. Interest for the following five months must therefore be calculated on ₹70,000 at the rate stated in the agreement. Option A is correct. Option B ignores the repayment and uses the old balance. Option C confuses the amount repaid with the amount still payable. Option D adds the repayment to the original liability, which reverses the effect of a principal payment. The seven-month period matters for any earlier interest calculation, but it does not change the next-period base after the repayment.
