Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

In the flat rate system, interest is calculated on the full original loan amount for the entire duration, regardless of monthly payments made.

Given:

  • Loan Amount (Principal) = ₹ 150,000
  • Annual Interest Rate = 16%
  • Time Period = 5 years

Total Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Total Interest = ₹ 150,000 × 16% × 5

Total Interest = ₹ 150,000 × 0.16 × 5

Total Interest = ₹ 150,000 × 0.80

Total Interest = ₹ 120,000


Total Amount = Principal + Total Interest

Total Amount = ₹ 150,000 + ₹ 120,000

Total Amount = ₹ 270,000

This ₹ 270,000 is the total amount to be paid back over 5 years.


Number of months = 5 years × 12 months/year

Number of months = 60 months

EMI = Total Amount ÷ Number of Months

EMI = ₹ 270,000 ÷ 60

EMI = ₹ 4,500

Therefore, the monthly EMI under flat rate system is ₹ 4,500.
