उत्तर
Total amount payable to Priya was ₹ 4,00,000
Calculate interest at 6% p.a. on ₹ 4,00,000 for 7 months
Formula for simple interest: Interest = `("P"xx"R"xx"T")/100`
P = Principal = ₹ 4,00,000
R = Rate = 6% p.a.
T = Time in years = 7 months = `1/12` year
Interest = `(400000xx6xx7/12)/100`
= 4,00,000 × 0.06 × 0.5833
= 14,000
Calculate Priya's share of profits for 7 months
Total profit for 7 months = ₹ 50,000
Priya’s profit sharing ratio = 1 (ratio is 4:2:1)
Sum of ratio = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7
Priya's share of profits = 71 × 50,000 = 7,142.86
Compare interest and share of profits
Interest = ₹ 14,000
Share of profits = ₹ 7,142.86
Priya should opt for the amount which benefits her the most.
