Prateek was due ₹240000 on retirement, ₹90000 was paid immediately and interest on the balance is charged for nine months at eight percent per annum. What is the total amount payable before payment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹159000

The direct answer is A: ₹159,000. The original amount due is ₹240,000. After an immediate payment of ₹90,000, the outstanding principal is ₹240,000 − ₹90,000 = ₹150,000. Interest is calculated on this balance for nine months. Interest = ₹150,000 × 8/100 × 9/12 = ₹9,000. The total payable before the next payment is ₹150,000 + ₹9,000 = ₹159,000. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹150,000, is only the principal and leaves out interest. Option C, ₹162,000, uses an incorrect interest calculation. Option D, ₹168,000, does not follow the stated rate and nine-month period and overstates the total. The key rule is that an amount already paid cannot continue to earn interest for the remaining period. First reduce the loan, then apply rate and time to the balance.
