₹4,800

₹2,400

₹6,000

Correct Answer:

₹6,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - ₹6,000.

Sahil withdrew ₹30,000 quarterly in the beginning of every quarter.
Interest = 8% p.a.
Average period = (months left after ist drawings + months left after last drawings)/2
                        = (12+3)/2
                        = 15/2
                        = 7.5 months

Total drawings = 30,000 x 4
                        = ₹1,20,000

Interest = Total drawings x rate of interest/100 x average period/12
              = 1,20,000 x 8/100 x 7.5/12
              = ₹6,000
