If the income of Company A in 2007 and that in 2008 were equal and the amount invested in 2007 was 12 lakh, what was the amount invested in 2008?

A) 1087500/-

B) 1085700/-

C) 1245000/-

D) 1285000/-

E) None of these

Option A

Investment of A in 2007

= 12 lakh and profit % = 45%

Income of A in 2007 = $\left(12 lakh\times \frac{145}{100}\right)$

= 17.4 lakh

Amount invested by A in 2008 = $\left(17.4 lakh\times \frac{100}{160}\right)$

= (10.875 x 100000) = 1087500/-
