D Correct answer
Explanation

Arun:Raman = 9:10. Total parts = 19. Each part = 95000 / 19 = 5000. Arun's salary = 9 * 5000 = 45000. Investment = 25% of 45000 = 11250.

AI explanation

Let the salaries of Arun and Raman be 9x and 10x. Their combined salary is 9x + 10x = 19x = 95000, so x = 5000. Arun's salary is 9 multiplied by 5000 = 45000. Arun invests 25% of his salary in mutual funds, which is 0.25 * 45000 = 11250. The amount invested by Arun is Rs. 11,250.
