    B Rs.960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.985 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.850 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    SI @ 12.5% p.a. = (12.5 × 3 × P)/100 = 0.375P SI @ (12.5% + 4.16% = 16.66%) = (16.66 × 3 × P)/100 = 0.4998P ATQ, 0.4998P - 0.375P = 120 0.1248P = 120 P = 961 so, according to option 960 is the closest answer.
