      A ₹151200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B ₹150000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C ₹153600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D ₹148200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E ₹145800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total amount [K] be Rs. 18x
      So, amount which P was supposed to receive = 18x × (7/18) = Rs. 7x
      Amount which was actually received by P = 18x × (6/18) = Rs. 6x
      ATQ,
      7x - 6x = 4200
      ⇒ x = 4200
      Also,
      K = 18x = 18 × 4200 = Rs. 75600
      Therefore, required value,
      2K = 2 × 75600 = ₹151200
