A person takes a loan of Rs. 200 at 5% simple interest. He returns Rs. 100 at the end of 1 year. In order to clear his dues at the end of 2 years, he would pay
  1. Rs. 100

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Rs. 115.50
After 1 year he owes 200 + 10 = 210; paying 100 leaves 110. Interest for the 2nd year on 110 at 5% = 5.50, so he pays 110 + 5.50 = Rs 115.50.
