    A 11.20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10.95% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12.10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9.80% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 10.00% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Net proceeds = 10,00,000 – 2% = ₹9,80,000. Annual interest = ₹1,00,000. Redemption = ₹10,50,000. Kd ≈ [I + (RV – NP)/n] ÷ [(RV + NP)/2] = [1,00,000 + (10,50,000 – 9,80,000)/5] ÷ [(10,50,000 + 9,80,000)/2] = [1,00,000 + 14,000] ÷ 10,15,000 = 1,14,000/10,15,000 = 11.24%
