- C. Tk.1.80
- D. Tk.1.80
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
The call lasted for 1 minute and 27 seconds, which is a total of 87 seconds. Any call duration of less than 30 seconds is rounded up to the nearest 30-second unit, so the duration of this call will be rounded up to 90 seconds, which is 3 units of 30 seconds.
The first 30-second unit costs Tk. 1.80, so the cost of the first unit is Tk. 1.80.
The remaining 2 units of 30 seconds each cost Tk. 0.90 per unit, so the cost of the remaining units is Tk. 0.90 x 2 = Tk. 1.80.
Therefore, the total cost of the call is Tk. 1.80 + Tk. 1.80 = Tk. 3.60.
