Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - ₹3,900.
X withdraws ₹5,000 in the beginning of each month for his personal use.
Interest on drawings = 12% p.a.
Total drawings = 5,000 x 12
= 60,000
Months left after ist drawing = 12
Months left after last drawing = 1
Average period = (12+1)/2
= 6.5 months
Interest on drawings = Total drawings x Rate of interest/100 x Average period/12
= 60,000 x 12/100 x 6.5/12
= 3,900
