Detailed Solution

Given, the amount is ₹ 5,00,000.
Values of the second and third scholarships are ₹  20,000 and ₹ 15,000 respectively.
Interest is 12%.
So, the scholarship is 12% of ₹ 5,00,000.
Hence, scholarship amount = 12100×500000.
= ₹ 60000
So, the value of the first scholarship is 60000 - 20000 - 15000.
= ₹ 25000
So, the value of the first scholarship is ₹ 25000.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
