B. Rs. 115926

C. Rs. 119500

D. Rs. 116500

E. None of these

Answer: Option E

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Estimated cost of furniture and miscellaneous expenditure
$$\eqalign{ & = \text{Rs. } \frac{13+8}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{21}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. 25200} \cr & \text{Actual cost of furniture} \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{88}{100}\times\frac{13}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. 13728} \cr} $$
Actual cost of furniture and miscellaneous expenditure
  = Rs. (13728 + 10200)
  = Rs. 23928
Total amount spent in renovating the house
  = Rs. (120000 - 25200 + 23928)
  = Rs. 118728
