where:
In this case, we are given that the security pays Rs 5,000 in 20 years with a 7% annual interest rate. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
PV = 5000 / (1 + 0.07)^20 = 1290.10
Therefore, the PV of the security is Rs 1,290.10.

Option D is incorrect because it is the PV of a security that pays Rs 5,000 in 25 years with a 7% annual interest rate.
