    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

     

    P.W. of Rs. 12,880 due 8 months hence
    .
     
     

     P.w. of Rs. 12,880 due 8 months hence =Rs\( [\frac { 12880*100 } { 100+[18*8/12]} ]\)

                                                                   

                                                                     =Rs\( [\frac { 12880 *100} { 112 }]\)

                                                                     

                                                                     = Rs. 11500.
