If Pranav clears all pending dues at the end of the second year, including interest payment that accrued during the first year, how much does he pay (in ₹) at the end of the second year? 

A.

398876

B.

393949

C.

396269

D.

388076

Correct option is C

Given:

Principal borrowed by Pranav: ₹335,180
Rate of interest: 13% per annum (Simple Interest)
Repayment towards principal at the end of the first year: ₹23,060
Pranav clears all dues, including interest, at the end of the second year.
Formula Used:

Simple interest is calculated using the formula:
SI=P×R×T100\text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}​​
Where (P) is the principal amount, (R) is the rate of interest, and (T) is the time in years.
Solution:

The interest for the first year:
SI =335180×13×1100=43,573.40 = \frac{335180 \times 13 \times 1}{100} = 43,573.40​​
the first year, Pranav repays ₹23,060 towards the principal. So, the new principal at the start of the second year is:
Remaining principal = 335180 - 23060 = 312120

The interest for the second year with the new principal:
SI for the second year= 312120×13×1100=40,575.60\frac{312120 \times 13 \times 1}{100} = 40,575.60
Pranav needs to pay the remaining principal and the interest for both the first and second years:
Total payment} = 312120 + 43573.40 + 40575.60 = 396,269
Pranav will pay ₹396,269 at the end of the second year.
