Question 1: How much loan does bank have to grant for her complete two years course on behalf of Tanu?

A. Rs. 903080

B. Rs. 854280

C. Rs. 970880

D. Rs. 902880

E. Cannot be determined

Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

Total expenditure on rent = 24 months × Rs. 5500 = Rs. 1,32,000 

Total expenditure on other expenses = 24 months × Rs. 3400 = Rs. 81,600 

Total expenditure on tuition fees = 4 semesters × Rs. 25000 = Rs. 10,00,000 

Thus total expenditure = 132000 + 81600 + 1000000 = Rs. 12,13,600 

The bank paid 80% of this amount. 

∴ Amount of loan granted by the bank = 80/100 × 1213600 = Rs. 970880
