      A man takes a loan of ₹6,000 from his friend on

      1st January 2019 with the condition that he will repay with accrued simple interest at the rate 6.25%, as and when the interest touches ₹75. On which date does the loan period expire?
      A 14 February 2019 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15 January 2020 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20 October 2019 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 15 March 2019 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Rate of interest for 1 month = 6.25/12% So, monthly interest = 6000 × 6.25/1200 ⇒ Rs. 31.25 So, to touch Rs. 75 it will take = 75/31.25 = 2.4 months or 72 days So, at 73rd day it will touch Rs. 75 So, 30 days in January + 28 days in February + 15 days in March = 73 days ∴ On 15th March 2019 the loan period got expired.
