B : 21600

Explain :

Good Total Cost: 50000 Plus Freight 2500 and Insurance 1500 = 54000

1/10 the good destroyed in Transit Means 54000*1/10 = 5400
Balance goods Now : 54000-5400 + 48600
1/9 th good destroyed by fire in godown = 48600*1/9 = 5400
Balance good now + 48600-5400 =43200
Half of remaining goods sold : means 43200*1/2 = 21600 Sold

Closing Inventory is + 43200-21600 = 21600
