a) BD 1458.33

The following amount can given in the options can only be achieved through simple interest. So for the sake of this question, we are assuming the sum is invested at simple interest.

Ebrahim needs 1225 in 7 years, thus every year needs to get 1225/7 or BD 175

Since this 175 is the amount he needs to get, this is the interest amount. The interest rate is 12%. The amount he needs to invest is

Interest amount = Interest Rate * Sum

175 = 0.12*Sum

Sum = 175/0.12 = 1458.33
