Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Key idea: the total interest expense over the two years equals 20% of the borrowed funds. Compute total interest from the charts, then divide by 0.20 to get borrowed funds.
Interest for 1990–91 = 30% of Rs 130 lakh = Rs 39 lakh.
Interest for 1991–92 = 40% of Rs 160 lakh = Rs 64 lakh.
Total interest = Rs 39 lakh + Rs 64 lakh = Rs 103 lakh.
Borrowed funds = Total interest ÷ 0.20 = 103 ÷ 0.20 = Rs 515 lakh.
Answer: Rs 515 lakh
