    `Rs. 100x`

    C
    `Rs. (100/x)`

    D
    `Rs. (100/x^2)`

    `Rs. 137.60`

    Note: P `= Rs. 64`, T` = 2 years`, S.I` = Rs. 19.20`. Rate `= ((100 xx 19.20)/(64 xx 2))%` `= 15%` Now, P `= Rs. 86`, T` = 4 `years, R` = 15%` `:. S.I = Rs.((86 xx 4 xx 15)/100)` `= Rs. 51.60`. :. Amount` = Rs. (86 + 51.60)` `= Rs. 137.60`.

    B
    `Rs. 48`

    C
    `Rs. 50`

    D
    `Rs. 60`

    Note: Principal `= Rs. ((100 xx 48)/(5 xx 4))` `= Rs. 240` `S.I = Rs.((240 xx 5 xx 4)/(100))` `= Rs. 48`.
