Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Interest is computed on each amount for the period it remained in the business. Opening capital: 4,00,000×8%=32,0004,00,000 \times 8\% = 32,000. Additional capital from July 1: 50,000×8%×9/12=3,00050,000 \times 8\% \times 9/12 = 3,000. Withdrawal from October 1 reduces interest by 30,000×8%×6/12=1,20030,000 \times 8\% \times 6/12 = 1,200. Total interest =32,000+3,000−1,200=33,800= 32,000 + 3,000 - 1,200 = 33,800.
