Explanation:

As he has to invest for a period of not more than 6 years.

So he can invest in either scheme B or C.
For maximum interest he should invest more money in Scheme B (as it has higher R*T ratio than that of scheme C. )
So he invests Rs 5 lakh i.e the upper limit in scheme 5 and remaining amount in scheme C.

But the limit in scheme C is Rs 3 lakh.

So he can only invest Rs 8 lakh out of the total amount he has.

Total interest on this Rs 8 lakh = 5L *7*6/100 + 3L*5*5/100 = Rs 210000 + Rs 75000 = Rs 285000

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
