Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Derivation of Compound Interest Value** Given: - Principal (P\displaystyle P) = Rs. 1,25,000\displaystyle \text{Rs. }1,25,000 - Rates for successive years: r1=2%\displaystyle r_1 = 2\%, r2=3%\displaystyle r_2 = 3\%, r3=4%\displaystyle r_3 = 4\% - Time (t\displaystyle t) = 3\displaystyle 3 years **Step 1: Set up the compound interest formula with varying rates** A=P(1+r1)(1+r2)(1+r3)A = P(1 + r_1)(1 + r_2)(1 + r_3) A=125000(1+0.02)(1+0.03)(1+0.04)A = 125000(1 + 0.02)(1 + 0.03)(1 + 0.04) A=125000(1.02)(1.03)(1.04)A = 125000(1.02)(1.03)(1.04) **Step 2: Calculate the product** 1.02×1.03×1.04=1.0926241.02 \times 1.03 \times 1.04 = 1.092624 A=125000×1.092624=Rs. 1,36,578A = 125000 \times 1.092624 = \text{Rs. }1,36,578 *(Since Rs. 1,36,578 is not listed in Options A, B, or C, the correct choice is Option D.)* Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
