If Mohan clears all pending dues at the end of the second year, including interest payment that accrued during the first year, how much does he pay (in ₹) at the end of the second year?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 564914.

P = ₹4,22,092

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

Principle due for second year = 422092 - 21679 = 400413

SI for first year = 422092×20×1100{{422092 \times 20 \times 1} \over 100} = 84418.4

SI for second year = 400413×20×1100{{400413 \times 20 \times 1} \over 100} = 80082.6

The amount to be paid after 2 years = 400413 + 84418.4 + 80082.6 = 564914
