A payment of ₹50,000 includes ₹8,000 as interest. By how much will the loan principal decrease?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹42,000

A combined payment containing interest and principal must be divided into its two components. The interest portion settles the interest expense or interest liability and does not reduce the original loan principal. Therefore, the amount applied to principal is the total payment less the interest included: ₹50,000 − ₹8,000 = ₹42,000. Option B wrongly treats the entire payment as principal repayment. Option C identifies only the interest component, which is excluded from principal reduction. Option D adds the components and therefore overstates the reduction. Hence, the loan principal decreases by ₹42,000, so option A is correct.
