C) A losses 7.43 D) A gains Rs. 7.34
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) A gains Rs. 7.34

Explanation:

A has to pay = Present worth of Rs220 due 1yr hence  

= Rs.[(220 x 100)/100+(10 x 1)] = Rs.200 

 

A actually pays = Rs.110+PW  of Rs.110 due 2 yrs hence 

= [110+(110 x 100)] / [100+(10 x 2)] = Rs.192.66  

 

So, A gains Rs. (200-192.66) = Rs.7.34
