Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Cash price = 40000
Cash down payment = 25000
Amount paid in monthly installment = 4000 × 4 = 16000
Calculations:
Interest charged = (25000 + 16000) – 40000 = 1000 rupees
Now, principal for first month = 40000 – 25000 = 15000
Principal for second month = 15000 – 4000 = 11000
Principal for third month = 11000 – 4000 = 7000
Principal for fourth month = 7000 – 4000 = 3000
Total principal = 15000 + 11000 + 7000 + 3000 = 36000 rupees
∴ Rate of interest on 36000 rupees = 1000 × 12 × (100 / 36000) = 100/3 = 33.33%
∴ The correct answer is option (2).
