Understanding the Interest on Drawings
To calculate the interest on Mr. A's drawings, we first need to determine the total amount withdrawn and the timing of these withdrawals. Mr. A withdraws ₹10,000 at the beginning of each month from July 2015 to March 2016, totaling 9 months.
Breakdown of Withdrawals
- July 2015: ₹10,000
- August 2015: ₹10,000
- September 2015: ₹10,000
- October 2015: ₹10,000

- January 2016: ₹10,000

Calculating Interest for Each Withdrawal
Each withdrawal incurs interest for a different number of months until the end of March 2016.
- July 2015: 9 months
- August 2015: 8 months
- September 2015: 7 months
- October 2015: 6 months
- November 2015: 5 months
- December 2015: 4 months
- January 2016: 3 months
- February 2016: 2 months
- March 2016: 1 month
Interest Calculation
The formula for interest is:
Interest = Principal x Rate x Time
- For July's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (9/12) = ₹675
- For August's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (8/12) = ₹600
- For September's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (7/12) = ₹525
- For October's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (6/12) = ₹450
- For November's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (5/12) = ₹375
- For December's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (4/12) = ₹300
- For January's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (3/12) = ₹225
- For February's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (2/12) = ₹150
- For March's ₹10,000: 10,000 x 9% x (1/12) = ₹75
Total Interest Calculation
Adding all the interest amounts together:
₹675 + ₹600 + ₹525 + ₹450 + ₹375 + ₹300 + ₹225 + ₹150 + ₹75 = ₹3,375
Conclusion
The total interest on Mr. A's drawings from July 2015 to March 2016 is ₹3,375.
