An installment of ₹50000 includes interest of ₹8000. By how much will loan principal reduce?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹42000

An installment may include both repayment of principal and payment of interest. Only the principal portion reduces the outstanding loan balance. Here the total installment is ₹50,000 and the interest included in it is ₹8,000. Therefore, the amount applied against principal is found by subtracting interest from the total installment: ₹50,000 − ₹8,000 = ₹42,000.

Thus, option A is correct. The full ₹50,000 cannot be treated as principal reduction because ₹8,000 of it pays the cost of borrowing. Option C is only the interest portion, not the reduction in loan principal. Option D incorrectly adds interest to the installment. Separating these components is important because the remaining loan balance changes only by the principal repayment, while interest is recorded separately as a charge.
