Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

By the high-low method, variable overhead per unit equals ₹6,800−₹6,0001,200−1,000=₹800200=₹4 per unit\frac{₹ 6{,}800 - ₹ 6{,}000}{1{,}200 - 1{,}000} = \frac{₹ 800}{200} = ₹ 4\text{ per unit}. Subtracting variable overhead at 1,000 units (1,000×₹4=₹4,0001{,}000 \times ₹ 4 = ₹ 4{,}000) from total overhead of ₹ 6,000 yields fixed overhead of ₹6,000−₹4,000=₹ 6{,}000 - ₹ 4{,}000 = "₹ 2,000".
