    C 2750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, SI = PNR/100 SI = x * 9 * 5/100 SI = 0.45x SI = (x + 200) * 9 * 5/100 SI = 0.45x + 90   (0.45x + 0.45x + 90) = 990 0.9x = 990 - 90 0.9x = 900 x = 900 / 0.9 x = 1000
