Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has changed the definition of NPA thrice during 1993-2004. in terms of the holding period of loans. The holding period was reduced by one quarter each time. In 1993, the holding period was four quarters (360 days). Based on the above paragraph, the holding period of loans in 2004 after the third revision was ________ days.
Options :
90
180
45
135
Answer :
90
Solution :
Initial holding period = 360 days
Number of days for each quarter = 90 days
It is given that the holding period was reduced by one quarter each time i.e. reduced by 90 days each time and RBI has changed the definition of NPA thrice during 1993-2004.
After the first revision, the holding period of loans = 360 – 90 = 270
After the second revision, the holding period of loans = 270 – 90 = 180
After the third revision, the holding period of loans = 180 – 90 = 90
