      Question

      A man took a loan at a rate of 18% per annum simple

      interest. After 42 months, he paid Rs. 9,240 to clear his dues. Find the initial loan amount.
      A Rs.4641 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.5775 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.6250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the loan amount be Rs ‘x’.

      ATQ;

      (9240 – x) = (x × 18 × 42) ÷ (100 × 12)

      Or, (9240 – x) = (21x/35)

      Or, 9240 = {(21x/35) + x}

      Or, 9240 = (56x/35)

      So, x = 5775

      Therefore, the initial loan amount was Rs. 5,775.
