  • D₹28362.75\displaystyle ₹ 28362.75

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the annual investment be A\displaystyle A. Given parameters: * Target Future Value (FV\displaystyle FV) = Rs. 5,00,000\displaystyle Rs. \displaystyle \text{Rs. }5,00,000 * Time (n\displaystyle n) = $12$ years * Interest Rate (r\displaystyle r) = $10\%p.a.,so\displaystyle p.a., soi = 0.10$ * Given factor (1.10)12\displaystyle (1.10)^{12} cumulative growth factor (or FVIFA(12,0.10)\displaystyle FVIFA(12, 0.10)) = $21.384281$ The formula for the Future Value of an ordinary annuity is: FV=A×FVIFA(n,i)FV = A ×\displaystyle \times FVIFA(n, i) Substituting the values: 5,00,000=A×21.3842815,00,000 = A ×\displaystyle \times 21.384281 Solving for A\displaystyle A: A=5,00,00021.384281≈23,381.65A = 5,00,00021.384281\displaystyle \frac{5,00,000}{21.384281} ≈\displaystyle \approx 23,381.65 Thus, the annual investment is approximately Rs. 23,381.65\displaystyle Rs. \displaystyle \text{Rs. }23,381.65. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
