    C Rs.4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.5500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the sum invested by P be Rs.'p' Therefore, sum invested by Q = Rs. (7500 – p) According to the question, (p × 4 × 30)/100 + (7500 – p)(1 + 40/100)2 – (7500 – p) = 7800 Or, (6p/5) + 0.96(7500 – p) = 7800 Or, p = 3000/1.2 = Rs.2500 Therefore, amount received by P = (2500 × 30 × 4)/100 + 2500 = Rs. 5500
