    A 8000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let x be the amount at 10% p.a. So (15000 - x) will be invested in 16% p.a. So (x×10×4)/100+((15000-x) ×16×4)/100 = 7200 Or 40x + 960000 – 64x = 720000 Or 24x = 240000 so, x = 240000/24 = 10000
