Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹42,880

Calculations:

Change in anupam investment during the 3 years = 200000 × (96/100) × (110/100) × (115/100)

⇒ ₹ 242880

Net profit for the entire period of three years = 242880 - 200000 = ₹ 42,880
