Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ Sum=Rs\text{. }( \frac{100\times 120}{2\times 8} )=Rs\text{. 750} $

$ \therefore $ $ CI=[ 750\times {{( 1+\frac{8}{100} )}^{2}}-750 ] $ $ =Rs\text{.}[ 750\times \frac{27}{25}\times \frac{27}{25}-750 ] $ $ =Rs\text{. (874}\text{.80}-\text{750)}=Rs\text{. 124}\text{.80} $
