Correct Answer:

₹3,875

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - ₹3,875.

Drawings are made at the end of each quarter.
Ist drawing = 30 June
Last drawing = 31st March
Average period = (Months left after ist drawings + Months left after last drawings)/2
                       = (9 + 0)/2
                       = 4.5 months

Interest on drawings = Total drawings x Rate of interest/100 x Average period/12
                        465  = Total drawings x 8/100 x 4.5/12
Total drawings = 465 x 100/8 x 12/4.5
                      = ₹15500

Total drawings for the full year = ₹15500
4 quarters in a year
Drawing in each quarter = 15500/4
                                    = ₹3875
