Question : A loan is to be returned in two equal yearly instalments. If the rate of interest is 10% p.a. compounded annually and each instalment is INR 5,808, then 60% of the total interest (nearest to INR) charged in this scheme is:
Option 1: 917
Option 2: 911
Option 3: 922
Option 4: 913
Correct Answer: 922
Solution :
Let the loan amount be P.
Then using
P =
⇒ P =
=
=
= 5280 + 4800
= 10080
Now,
Interest = (2 × instalment – P)
⇒ Interest = (2 × 5808 – 10080)
= (11616 – 10080)
= 1536
So, 60% interest charged = 60% of 1536 = 921.6
Hence, the correct answer is 922.
