    D.

    E.

    Correct sentence:

    We cannot make a precise calculation of the price until we have all the costs.

    Only price (A) and precise (C) are interchanged.

    Meaning of Highlighted Words (English + Hindi + Example)

    price (A)

    English Meaning: The amount of money required to buy something
    Hindi Meaning:
    कीमत, मूल्य

    Example: The price of the product increased last year.

    Position Analysis (Original):
    “We cannot make a price calculation…”
    This is awkward and unnatural. The standard collocation is “precise calculation,” not “price calculation.”

    After interchange:
    “…calculation of the price…” — correct structure.
    “Price” properly functions as a noun after “of.”

    calculation (B)

    English Meaning: The process of using numbers to determine a result
    Hindi Meaning:
    गणना

    Example: The calculation was done carefully.

    Position Analysis:
    “Make a calculation” is grammatically correct.
    “Precise calculation” is also a natural collocation.
    This word is correctly placed and does not need interchange.

    precise (C)

    English Meaning: Exact and accurate
    Hindi Meaning:
    सटीक

    Example: She gave a precise answer.

    Position Analysis (Original):
    “…of the precise until…”
    Here “precise” incorrectly appears as a noun, which is grammatically wrong because “precise” is an adjective.

    After interchange:
    “a precise calculation” — correct adjective + noun structure.

    costs (D)

    English Meaning: Expenses incurred
    Hindi Meaning:
    खर्च

    Example: The total costs were higher than expected.

    Position Analysis:
    “…until we have all the costs.”
    This is grammatically and logically correct. No change is needed.

    Why Only (A)-(C) is Correct

    Original incorrect part:
    “price calculation of the precise”

    After interchange:
    “precise calculation of the price”

    Correct structure:
    Article + adjective + noun + preposition + noun

    No other replacements are necessary.

    Final Answer:

    Option A — Only (A)-(C)
