(D) Let the simple interest be $S.I. = 85$ and the true discount be $T.D. = 80$.We know the relationship between the sum $(P)$,simple interest $(S.I.)$,and true discount $(T.D.)$ is given by the formula:$P = \frac{S.I. \times T.D.}{S.I. - T.D.}$Substituting the given values into the formula:$P = \frac{85 \times 80}{85 - 80}$$P = \frac{6800}{5}$$P = 1360$Therefore,the sum is $Rs.\, 1360$.
