  1. A
    1,33,333.33
  2. B
    1,66,666.67
  3. C
    1,16,666.67
  4. D
    1,13,333.33

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the initial money already present in the account be ₹x.
A new deposit of ₹50,000 is made.

Therefore, the total principal amount (P) earning interest in the bank is:

P=x+50000
Given data:

Simple Interest (SI) = ₹7,500

Rate of interest (R) = 4.5% per annum

Time (T) = 1 year

Using the Simple Interest formula:

SI=
100
P×R×T


7500=
100
(x+50000)×4.5×1


7500×100=4.5(x+50000)
750000=4.5(x+50000)
x+50000=
4.5
750000


x+50000=
45
7500000


x+50000=
3
500000


x+50000=166666.67
x=166666.67−50000
x=116666.67
Thus, the money already present in the account was ₹1,16,666.67.
