Answer : Option C

Explanation :

Let savings in N.S.C and P.P.F. be Rs. x and Rs. (150000 - x) respectively. Then,

$\frac { 1 } { 3 } X$ = $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ (150000 - x)

$\frac {X} {3 } +$ $\frac { X } { 2 }$ = 75000

$\frac { 5X} { 6 }$ = 75000

x = $\frac {75000 *6} { 5 }$ = 90000

Savings in Public Provident Fund = Rs. (150000 - 90000) = Rs. 60000
