26. A suspect under investigation is found to possess unexplained wealth. The assets include a house valued at TZS 150,000,000 and two commercial vehicles worth TZS 45,000,000 each. If their known lawful income during this period was exactly TZS 80,000,000, what is the value of their disproportionate (unexplained) wealth?

B. TZS 160,000,000
C. TZS 240,000,000
D. TZS 320,000,000
Answer: B
Explanation: Total value of assets is TZS 150,000,000 + (2 × TZS 45,000,000) = TZS 240,000,000. The unexplained wealth is the total assets minus lawful income: TZS 240,000,000 - TZS 80,000,000 = TZS 160,000,000.
