B.
Rs. 7569
Answer
C.
Rs. 7009
D.
Rs. 7500

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
⇒     I     80×87     →     87×87   ......(i)
⇒     II     6400     →     7569   ......(ii)
Since, installment is equal hence multiply equation (i) by 87
⇒ Total principal = 6960 + 6400 = 13360
⇒ 13360 units = Rs. 13360
⇒ 1 units = Rs. 1
⇒ 7569 units = Rs. 7569
∴ Each installment = Rs. 7569
