    C ₹43,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹46,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Investment in the first year = ₹15,000. Investment in the second year = ₹15,000 + 20% of ₹15,000 = ₹15,000 + ₹3,000 = ₹18,000. Investment in the third year = ₹18,000 - 25% of ₹18,000 = ₹18,000 - ₹4,500 = ₹13,500. Total investment over three years = ₹15,000 + ₹18,000 + ₹13,500 = ₹46,500.
