Correct Answer: INR 30,000


Solution : Let the amount in the account with 12% interest be $x$ and the amount in the account with 8% be (50000 – $x$).
According to the question,
$\frac{(50000-x)\times8}{100}+\frac{x\times 12}{100} = 5200$
⇒ $400000-8x+12x = 520000$
⇒ $4x=120000$
$\therefore x=30000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 30,000.
