if any one has a simple solution then please share :
I backsolved the question starting option C
78125
so
1 . @ 4% against 25,000 = 1000 $
2. excess of 25,000 , interest @ 5% ; we have 78125-25000= 53,125 $
53125 * 5% = 2656 $
3. mortgage-insurance premium equal to 3 percent of the mortgage amount ; 78125 * 3% = 2343 $
sum it all 1000+ 2656+ 2343 = 6000 $ which is equal to amount available for down payment and insurance premium
IMO C

Simpler Solution:
4% of first 25000=1000$
Now,5% down payment beyond 25000$
Also, 3% on insurance on total mortgage
3% insurance on first 25000$=750$
total down payment and insurance on first 25000$=1750$
Amount left=6000-1750=4250$
Now, 5% down payment +3% insurance on amount beyond 25000 = 4250
i.e. 8% of mortgage amount beyond 25000=4250$
==>mortgage amount beyond 25000=425000/8=53125$
Total mortgage=25000+53125=78125$
(Solution looks big but can be done in 2 lines when solving for yourself)
