Avinash was due ₹180000 on retirement, ₹60000 was paid immediately and interest on the balance is due for six months at six percent per annum. What is the total amount payable just before payment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹123600

The direct answer is B: ₹123,600. Start with the amount due, ₹180,000. Immediately paying ₹60,000 leaves a balance of ₹180,000 − ₹60,000 = ₹120,000. Interest is charged on this outstanding balance, not on the already paid amount. For six months at 6 percent per year, interest is ₹120,000 × 6/100 × 6/12 = ₹3,600. Add this interest to the remaining principal: ₹120,000 + ₹3,600 = ₹123,600. Option A is only the remaining principal and ignores interest. Option B is correct because it includes both principal and six-month interest. Option C, ₹126,000, uses an incorrect interest amount. Option D, ₹183,600, calculates interest on the original ₹180,000 despite the immediate payment. Exam cue: subtract an immediate payment first, then calculate interest on the balance for the stated time.
