Net Amount of installment payable at the end of 2nd year to Kabir is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is option 2- ₹34,000.
Total due amount = 1,00,000
Installments = 4
Each installment = 1,00,000/4
= 25,000
Ist installment = 25,000 + Interest on unpaid balance i.e. 1,00,000
= 25,000 + (1,00,000 x 12/100)
= 25,000 + 12,000
= 37,000
Remaining balance after ist installment = 1,00,000 - 25,000
= 75,000
2nd installment = 25,000 + Interest on unpaid balance i.e. 75,000
= 25,000 + (75,000 x 12/100)
= 25,000 + 9,000
= 34,000
Thus, 2nd installment amount will be 34,000.
