    A.

    ₹220

    B.

    ₹200

    C.

    ₹210

    D.

    ₹212

    Correct option is A

    We are tasked to calculate the principal sum when the interest and true discount are given.

    Step-by-Step Solution:

    1. Given:

    - Interest ( I ) = ₹22

    - True Discount ( TD ) = ₹20

    2. Key Formulae:

    Relationship between Principal ( P ), Interest ( I ), and True Discount ( TD ):

    P = I×TDITD\frac{I \times TD}{I - TD}

    3. Substitute the values:

    P = 22×202220\frac{22 \times 20}{22 - 20}

    P = 4402\frac{440}{2}

    P = 220

    Final Answer:

    220\boxed{₹220}
