D Correct answer
Explanation

Discount = 3.5% of 1250 = 0.035 * 1250 = 43.75. Amount paid = 1250 - 43.75 = 1206.25.

AI explanation

Using the formula for cash payment, Cash Amount = Marked Price * (1 - Discount Rate / 100). Substituting the values gives 1250 * (1 - 0.035), which equals 1250 * 0.965. Multiplying this out results in Rs. 1206.25, the amount Trishi pays.
