They admit Ravi on October 1, 2019 in the partnership, who bring ₹12,00,000 as capital and Sameer also introduced additional capital ₹3,00,000 on that date. Interest on partner's capital is provided @5% p.a. The amount of interest on the capital of Sameer for the year 2019-20 is- 

₹82,500

The correct answer is option 1- â‚¹82,500.

Opening capital of Sameer = â‚¹15,00,000
Interest = 5% p.a.
Interest = 15,00,000 x 5/100
             = 75,000

Additional capital of â‚¹3,00,000 brought on 1st Oct so interest provided for 6 months
Interest = 3,00,000 x 5/100 x 6/12
             = 7,500

Total interest = 75,000 + 7,500
                    = 82,500
