Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Here, T1 = 1, T2 = 2, T3 = 3
 
  R1 = R2 = R3 = 5%
 
The Shares of Vikas, Vijay and Viraj will be in the ratio
 
  1 : 1 : 1 = 1 : 1 :
1
         
R1T1 R2T2 R3T3 1 x 5 2 x 5 3 x 5          
 
  = 1 : 1 : 1  = 6 : 3 : 2        
1 2 3        
 
Sum of proportionals = 6 + 3 + 2 = 11.
 
 Share of Vikas = 6  x 7700 = Rs. 4200  
11  
 
   Share of Vijay = 3  x 7700 = Rs. 2100  
11  
 
   Share of Viraj = 2  x 7700 = Rs. 1400  
11  
 
Therefore, Vikas's share is 4200 - 1400 = Rs. 2800 more than that of Viraj.

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Let the second amount be Rs. x. Then,
 
12000 x 10 x 1 + x x 20 x 1 = (12000 + x) x 14 x 1    
100 100 100  
 
   12000 + 20x = 168000 + 14x  
 
   6x = 48000  
 
   x = 8000.  
 
   Total investment = Rs. (12000 + 8000) = Rs. 20000.
