    C 840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Net foreign investment in flows for 1996 = 2000 Net foreign investment in flows for 1997 increased by 20% =1.2*2000=2400 Proportion of in flows with respect to approvals in 1996 = (2000/8000)*100 = 25% or 1/4 As per given proportion is same in the year 1997 with respect to 1996. So,foreign investment approvals in 1997= 4 * 2400 =9600 Now, NAFTA got $ 700mn in 1996 That is 800/2000)*100 = 40% So,in1997 it got 40% of 2400 = 960
