Vatsala buys a car for Rs.7,00,000 and pays upfront Rs.2,50,000 through her credit card. The balance is to be paid in 5 years by equal monthly installments at an interest of 7% per annum as reducing balance. The EMI to be paid by Vatsala will be :- [given (1.0058)⁻⁶⁰=0.7068]

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Vatsala buys a car worth Rs. 7,00,000 and pays Rs. 2,50,000 upfront. The remaining amount is financed as a loan, repaid through equal monthly installments (EMI) over 5 years at 7% p.a. on a reducing balance basis.


P=Total Price−Upfront PaymentP = \text{Total Price} - \text{Upfront Payment}

P=7,00,000−2,50,000P = 7,00,000 - 2,50,000

P=Rs. 4,50,000P = \text{Rs. } 4,50,000


From the given information:

P=Rs. 4,50,000P = \text{Rs. } 4,50,000

r=7%12=0.0058r = \dfrac{7\%}{12} = 0.0058

n=5×12=60 monthsn = 5 \times 12 = 60 \text{ months}


Using the EMI formula:

EMI=P×r1−(1+r)−nEMI = \dfrac{P \times r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}

EMI=4,50,000×0.00581−(1.0058)−60EMI = \dfrac{4,50,000 \times 0.0058}{1 - (1.0058)^{-60}}


Numerator =4,50,000×0.0058=2,610= 4,50,000 \times 0.0058 = 2,610

Denominator =1−(1.0058)−60= 1 - (1.0058)^{-60}

=1−0.7068= 1 - 0.7068

=0.2932= 0.2932


EMI=2,6100.2932EMI = \dfrac{2,610}{0.2932}

EMI≈Rs. 8,901.7EMI \approx \text{Rs. } 8,901.7
