@Deepak.
We are only concerned about the two cases so option A is better.
You are considering 18% rate without taking the dealer's scheme so its impossible.

I agree with deepak as the solution says if I pay 12800 later thats just 11500 now so we are saving 500 here.
So it's better to pay later.

The question here asks which option is better for owner of the scooter.
So by explanation of Madhu.T cash is better than credit.
Because if we take cash now and give it for interest we get 1440 after 8 months at 18% interest per annum. But if we accept credit we only get 880 after 8 months.

Present Value of 12880 is 11500. This option costs lower than present 12000. So, answer should be 'on credit'. Kindly explain anyone?

As I see it we only need to compare the two either pay cash or you pay 12880 which includes your 8 months interest @18%. We don't have the option of receiving 12000 after 8 months.

Amount= P.W + I.
I = (P.W * T * R)/100.
So,
A = P.W+ (P.W * T * R)/100.
100(A) =100 * P.W + P.W * T * R.
P.W = 100A/100 + T * R.
A = 12880 (A is the total amount obtained after 8 months).
12000 -> obtained P.W.
I = (P.W * T * R)/100.
So,
A = P.W+ (P.W * T * R)/100.
100(A) =100 * P.W + P.W * T * R.
P.W = 100A/100 + T * R.
A = 12880 (A is the total amount obtained after 8 months).
12000 -> obtained P.W.

Thank you @Madhu for the best explanation you gave. @Deepak, this deal is for a dealer not for the customer.
For the customer, the best one is of 12880. Otherwise, he'll charge with an imaginary amount of 13440.
And for the dealer, the best one is of 12000 in cash.
