Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Let investment of Aarti during first year $ =5x $
Investment of Vinita during first year $ =7x $
Investment of Kamla during first year $ =6x $
Then, their investments during second year
$ (126 $ % $ of5x):(120 $ % $ of7x):(115 $ % $ of6x) $
$ =( \frac{126}{100}\times 5x ):( \frac{120}{100}\times 7x ):( \frac{115}{100}\times 6x ) $
$ =630:840:690=21:28:23 $
