Given:

The age of a tree depends on the number of rings in the trunk. The value of such a tree is proportional to its age.

A tree with 40 rings and 50 years of age has a value of Rs.50,000.

Formula used:

Age of tree = Number of rings

Value of tree = Proportional to age

Calculations:

Tree with 40 rings has an age of 50 years.

⇒ Age per ring = 50 years / 40 rings = 1.25 years per ring

Tree with 30 rings:

⇒ Age = 30 rings × 1.25 years per ring = 37.5 years

Value of tree:

⇒ Value per year = Rs.50,000 / 50 years = Rs.1,000 per year

⇒ Value of tree with 37.5 years of age = 37.5 years × Rs.1,000 per year = Rs.37,500

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
