    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let the investment in 9% stock be Rs. x.

     

    Then, investment in 10% stock = Rs. (9800 - x).

     

    \(\frac { 9 } {75 }\)XX=\(\frac { 1 0} {80 } *\)Rs. (9800 - x).

     

    \( \frac { 3X} { 25 }\)=\( \frac { 9800 -X} { 8 } \)

     

     24x = 9800 x 25 - 25x

     

     49x = 9800 x 25

     

      x = 5000.
