B Correct answer
Explanation

Subscription income for the current year = 500 * 500 = Rs. 2,50,000, out of which Rs. 25,000 was received during the previous year. Thus, net amount of Rs. 2,25,000 was due. Receipt in the current year is Rs. 2,10,000, which includes Rs. 11,000 for previous and subsequent years, i.e. Rs. 1,99,000 for the current year. Thus, Rs. 26,000 for the current year is due. Of the previous year, Rs. 3000 is still due. Thus, total amount due at the end is Rs. 29,000.
