    A ₹72000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹68400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹75600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹69000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹70200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total amount [K] be Rs. 10x
    So, amount which N was supposed to receive = 10x × (3/10) = Rs. 3x
    Amount which was actually received by N = 10x × (2/10) = Rs. 2x
    ATQ,
    3x - 2x = 3600
    ⇒ x = 3600
    Also,
    K = 10x = 10 × 3600 = Rs. 36000
    Therefore, required value,
    2K = 2 × 36000 = ₹72000
