From Option B => (4200 * 12)/(5600* certain months) = 9 months This option does not satisfy the given condition. From Option C => (4200 * 12)/(4800* certain months) = 10.5 months This option does not satisfy the given condition. From Option D => (4200 * 12)/(3600* certain months) = 14 months This option does not satisfy the given condition.
