Hmmm, as I read it, in year 1, but it doesn't say at the beginning of the year or end, so we'll be assuming is at the beginning of year 1, the amount is 850, how much will it be at the beginning of year 6? namely, 5 years later.

Answer: OPTION B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing figure is attached.
For this exercise you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem. This is:
Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the triangle.
In this case you can identify in the figure the triangle PRS, so the diagonal PR is the hypotenuse of the triangle PRS.
Then you can say that:
Therefore, knowing these values, you can substitute them into :
Finally you must solve for PR in order to find its value. This is:
