B Correct answer
Explanation

Annual loss = Capital × (rate₁ - rate₂). Here 45.50 = P × (12% - 10.5%) = P × 1.5%. So P = 45.50/0.015 = Rs. 3033.33. The question has rounding/approximation issue - exact answer should be Rs. 3033.33, but option B is Rs. 3033. This tests simple interest rate difference applied to principal.
