Interest of ₹15,000 is credited to a Loan Account. If a total payment of ₹65,000, including this interest, is made in the same year, by how much will the principal decrease?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50,000

The governing concept is the separation of interest from principal when a payment includes both components. The total amount paid is ₹65,000, but ₹15,000 of this amount represents interest already credited to the Loan Account. Only the balance of the payment reduces the original principal. Therefore, principal reduction = total payment − interest component = ₹65,000 − ₹15,000 = ₹50,000. Option A is correct because it represents the amount actually applied against the loan principal. Option B incorrectly treats the entire payment as principal and ignores the interest portion. Option C gives only the interest amount, not the principal repayment. Option D incorrectly adds the interest to the total payment instead of deducting it. Thus the principal decreases by ₹50,000.
