Answer (d):
Project 1 is recommended.
The discount rate is 10% and minimum required accounting rate of return is 10%.
NPV of Project 1 is positive (at discount rate = 10%) and hence project 1 is acceptable. NPV of project 2 is negative and hence project 2 is rejected.
IRR of project 1 is at 15.21% which is greater than discount rate of 10%. Hence project 1 is acceptable based on IRR. IRR of project 2 is at 4.36% which is less than discount rate of 10% and hence project 2 is rejected.
ARR of project 1 is 19.50% which is higher than required ARR of 10%. Project 2's ARR is at 5.58% which is less than the required ARR.
Hence Project 1 is acceptable based on all 3 criteria. Project 2 is rejected based on all 3 criteria.
