Detailed Solution

It is given that,

M a t u r i t y v a l u e = 1000000, R = 12 % p . a ., T = 112 years

The formula for Maturity value is

= P × n + P × n n + 1 2 × R T 100

,
where P = deposit amount, n = number of months, R= rate per annum and T= time.
Number of months is

5 × 12 = 60

. Therefore, the Maturity value can be calculated as,

⇒ 1000000 = P × 60 + P × 60 × 60 + 1 2 × 12 × 1 100 × 12 ⇒ 1000000 = 60 P + 18.3 P ⇒ 1000000 = 78.3 P ⇒ P = 12771.39 ≈ 12800

As a result, the smallest amount (in multiples of 100) that should be placed in a recurring deposit every month is 12800.
The correct option is 1).
