    Explanation:

    - Let's break this down by calculating how much of the principal is repaid through the instalments.

    - We're given an annual interest rate of 10%, compounded annually.

    - Each instalment is Rs 6534.

    - Use the formula for the present value of an annuity to find the original loan amount (P):

    \[

    P = \frac{6534}{(1 + 0.10)^1} + \frac{6534}{(1 + 0.10)^2}

    \]

    - Once calculated, this gives us the principal that was initially borrowed.

    - To find the total interest, subtract the principal from the total paid in the two instalments.

    - Let's calculate:

    - First, find the present value of each instalment:

    - \( \frac{6534}{1.10} = 5940 \)

    - \( \frac{6534}{1.1^2} = 5400 \)

    - Sum these values for the principal amount:

    - \( 5940 + 5400 = 11340 \)

    - Total loan repayment = \(6534 \times 2 = 13068\)

    - Interest charged = Total loan repayment - Principal = \(13068 - 11340 = 1728\)

    - Correct Answer: Option 3: 1728
