    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Initial total tuition for all 50 students = 50 X 7200 = 3,60,000 New total tuition for all 50 students = Rs. 3,85,000 Increase in tuition = 385000 - 360000 = Rs. 25,000 So, X = (25000/50) = 500 So, X + 30% of X = 500 + 0.30 X 500 = 500 + 150 = 650
