Step-by-Step Solution

Schooling gets 45% of 25,00,000 = ₹11,25,000, and books get 32% of that: = ₹3,60,000 (equivalently % of the fund). ₹11,25,000 is the whole schooling amount. ₹8,00,000 takes 32% of the FUND rather than 32% of the schooling amount - the wrong base. ₹19,25,000 is 77% of the fund, from adding 45 and 32.
Answer: A) ₹3,60,000
