Options:

₹12,00,000

₹14,00,000

₹15,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹14,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹14,00,000.

Net profit after tax = ₹6,50,000
Tax rate = 50%
Net profit before tax = 6,50,000 X100/50
                                 = ₹13,00,000

Interest = 8,00,000 X 12.5/100
              = ₹1,00,000

So, net profit before interest and tax = 13,00,000 + 1,00,000
                                        
                   = ₹14,00,000
