      A ₹81,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B ₹84,750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C ₹85,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D ₹83,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Transportation expense = 20% of ₹90,000 = ₹18,000. Reduced by 25%: ₹18,000 × 0.75 = ₹13,500. Miscellaneous expense = 10% of ₹90,000 = ₹9,000. Reduced by 25%: ₹9,000 × 0.75 = ₹6,750. New total expenses = ₹90,000 - (₹18,000 - ₹13,500) - (₹9,000 - ₹6,750) = ₹90,000 - ₹4,500 - ₹2,250 = ₹83,250.
