Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 40200.

Calculations:

Let the share of Ramesh after adding Raju's share be x.

Share of Ramesh = 25% of 100000 = 25000

Raju sells his 15200 shares to Ramesh

Hence, the total share of Ramesh = 25000 + 15200 = 40200
