C.

Only (C)-(D)

D.

Only (B)-(D)

E.

No replacement needed

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: A — Only (A)-(C)

After interchanging price (A) and precise (C):

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)
