B. Rs. 50,000

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Let savings in N.S.C and P.P.F. be Rs. x and Rs. (150000 - x) respectively. Then,

1	x =	1	(150000 - x)
3		2

⇒	x	+	x	= 75000
	3		2

⇒	5x	= 75000
	6

⇒ x =	75000 x 6	= 90000
	5

∴ Savings in Public Provident Fund = Rs. (150000 - 90000) = Rs. 60000
