    A 44% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 63% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 46% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Kishan weight + Krishana Weight = 156 × 100/130 ∴ Kishan = 156 × 100/130 ×5/12 = 50 kg ∴ Krishana = 156 × 100/130 × 7/12 = 70kg Initial weight = 50 + 70 = 120 kg Now, after increasing Krishana weight = 70 × 120/100 = 84kg ∴ After increasing Kishan weight = 156 – 84 = 72 kg Required percent = (72 -50)/50 × 100 = 44%
