11 | x 143 x 117 |  |
= Rs. 1287. |
| 143 |
| Income in 2nd case = Rs. | |
39 | x 143 x 117 | |
= Rs. 1394.25 |

11% Means in the real world 11/100 not 11/143.
11% on 143 is 15.73.
9.75% or 9 3/4 % on 117 means 11.40.
If you invest 143 you get 15.73 143 ===> 15.73.
If you invest 117 you get 11.40 117 ===> 11.40.
Please clarify how could you determinate 11% = 11 for 143?

Income->investment
11----->143.
39/4--->117.
Solution: here we can compare only after equating 2 investments.
So,
11*117--->143*117==>here income is 1287.
39/4*143->117*143==>here income is 1394.25
11----->143.
39/4--->117.

Alternate way in 1st case u get rs 11 on investing rs143.
so for getting 1 rs u have to invest 13 rs
similarly in 2nd case u have to invest 12 rs for getting 1.so second one is profitable.
