Detailed Solution & Explanation

Given parameters: * Simple Interest (SI\displaystyle SI) = Rs. 42,800\displaystyle \text{Rs. }42,800 * Time (t\displaystyle t) = 3\displaystyle 3 years and 3\displaystyle 3 months = 3+312=3.25\displaystyle 3 + \frac{3}{12} = 3.25 years * Rate of interest (r\displaystyle r) = 2.5%\displaystyle 2.5\% p.a. The formula for Simple Interest is: SI=P×r×t100SI = \frac{P \times r \times t}{100} Substituting the values: 42,800=P×2.5×3.2510042,800 = \frac{P \times 2.5 \times 3.25}{100} 42,800=8.125P10042,800 = \frac{8.125 P}{100} 42,800=0.08125P42,800 = 0.08125 P Solving for P\displaystyle P: P=42,8000.08125=5,26,769.23P = \frac{42,800}{0.08125} = 5,26,769.23 Thus, the sum of money is approximately Rs. 5,26,769\displaystyle \text{Rs. }5,26,769. (Note: While some keys mark Option C, the exact calculation yields Option B). Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
