₹370000 was due. ₹140000 was paid immediately and eight percent interest was added on the balance for the first year. No further payment was made. What will be the year-end balance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹248400

Direct answer: Option B, ₹248400. First find the amount still unpaid after the immediate payment: ₹370000 − ₹140000 = ₹230000. The first-year interest is 8% of ₹230000, so interest is ₹230000 × 8/100 = ₹18400. Since no further payment is made, add this interest to the unpaid loan: ₹230000 + ₹18400 = ₹248400. Option B is correct. Option A, ₹230000, is only the principal balance after the immediate payment and ignores the interest. Option C, ₹399600, incorrectly adds interest to the original ₹370000 or otherwise fails to deduct the payment first. Option D, ₹18400, is only the interest amount, not the year-end loan balance. The safe sequence is: original amount, subtract payment, calculate interest on the remaining amount, then add interest. Memory cue: pay first, calculate interest second, add interest last.
