    Solution

    According to question, Let a and r% be the initial investment of X and investment increases by Y. (a*7) + (120X/100*5) : (35000*4) + (35000*(100+r)/100*5) : (40000*4) 13a  : 315000 + 1750r : 160000 13a/ 160000 = 156/64 a = 160000*156/(64*13) a = 30,000 Initial investment of X = Rs.30000 (315000+1750r)/160000 = 147/64 315000+1750r = 367500 1750r = 52500 r=30% Hence the option is A.
