A repays ₹240 of the principal each year, since \[ \frac{960}{4} = 240 \] In the first year, A owes ₹960 Therefore, interest for the first year: \[ \frac{960 \times 1 \times 6}{100} = ₹57.60 \] In the second year, remaining principal = ₹960 − ₹240 = ₹720 Interest for the second year: \[ \frac{720 \times 1 \times 6}{100} = ₹43.20 \] In the third year, remaining principal = ₹720 − ₹240 = ₹480 Interest for the third year: \[ \frac{480 \times 1 \times 6}{100} = ₹28.80 \] In the fourth year, remaining principal = ₹480 − ₹240 = ₹240 Interest for the fourth year: \[ \frac{240 \times 1 \times 6}{100} = ₹14.40 \] Total interest over 4 years: \[ ₹57.60 + ₹43.20 + ₹28.80 + ₹14.40 = ₹144 \] At the end of the fourth year, A will pay B: Remaining principal ₹240 + total interest ₹144 = ₹384 (Answer)
