    A Rs.12,960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.15,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.21,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let Anil’s investment be Rs. 'y'.

    (12,000 × 12) : (y × 8) = 6 : 7

    → 144000 : 8y = 6 : 7

    → 144000/8y = 6/7

    → 18000/y = 6/7

    → y = (18000 × 7)/6

    → y = Rs. 21,000
