Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A Sinking Fund is a savings account established for a specific future expense. Money is deposited regularly and systematically to accumulate funds for a planned, predetermined purpose (such as replacing equipment, paying off debt, or funding a large purchase).


Examining statement (A): "It does not have any specific purpose."

This is NOT correct. A sinking fund always has a specific, predetermined purpose.


Examining statement (B): "It can be used in any emergency."

This is NOT correct. Sinking funds are for planned expenses, not emergencies. Emergency funds serve a different purpose.


Examining statement (C): "Any amount, any time can be deposited in it."

This is NOT correct. Sinking funds require regular, systematic deposits calculated to reach a specific target amount by a specific date.


Examining statement (D): "It is set up for a particular upcoming expense."

This is correct. This accurately describes the purpose of a sinking fund.


Statements (A), (B), and (C) are NOT correct about sinking funds.

The answer is the option that includes (A), (B), and (C).
