E Correct answer
Explanation

The investments are in the ratio 26000:34000:10000, which simplifies to 26:34:10 or 13:17:5. Total parts = 13 + 17 + 5 = 35. Vinay's share should be (17/35) × 3500 = 1700. However, none of the options (A: 1300, B: 1600, C: 1800, D: 1500) match this correct calculation. The answer must be 'None of these'.
