Answer 1

i. Balance on `7^"th"` March = Rs. 3,750 – Rs. 1200 = Rs. 2,550
Balance on `2^"nd"` April = Rs. 2,550 + Rs. 2,300 = Rs. 4,850
Balance on `10^"th"` April = Rs. 4,850 + Rs. 820 = Rs. 5,670
Balance on `6^"th"` Oct. = Rs. 5,670 – Rs. 950 = Rs. 4,720

Balance on `8^"th"` Dec.= Rs. 4,720 + Rs. 1,700 = Rs. 6,420

ii. Minimum balance for the month of Jan. = Rs. 3,750
Minimum balance for the month of Feb. = Rs. 3,750
Minimum balance for the month of Mar. = Rs. 2,550
Minimum balance for the month of Apr. = Rs. 5,670
Minimum balance for the month of May = Rs. 5,670
Minimum balance for the month of June= Rs. 5,670
Minimum balance for the month of July = Rs. 5,670
Minimum balance for the month of Aug.= Rs. 5,670
Minimum balance for the month of Sept.= Rs. 5,670
Minimum balance for the month of Oct. = Rs. 4,720
Minimum balance for the month of Nov. = Rs. 4,720
Minimum balance for the month of Dec. = Rs. 6,420
Total principal= Rs59,930

Rate = 5% p.a. and Time` =1/12 year ∴ Interest = (PxxRxxT)/100 = (59,930xx5xx1)/(100xx12) = Rs. 249.71`
