    Given that, BD = ₹ 196 and BG = ₹ 28
    ∴ TD = BD - BG = 196 - 28 = ₹ 168
    According to the formula,
    A = (BD x TD)/BG = (196 x 168)/28

    Correct Option: C

    Given that, BD = ₹ 196 and BG = ₹ 28
    ∴ TD = BD - BG = 196 - 28 = ₹ 168
    According to the formula,
    A = (BD x TD)/BG = (196 x 168)/28
    = 196 X 6
    = ₹ 1176
