3/4th trees are old ones hence consider it may be Ashoka and Sandal both and the other half it flowering, hence, there is one part wherein it may consist trees which do not go with either old or flowring, hence the option E fulfills the answer.

If 3/4th trees are old then 1/4th should be flowering stage if 1/2 trees are old then 1/2 trees should be flowering stage.

No, according to me, the solution is wrong. Suppose there are 50 sandals and 50 Ashoka.
As per qn, 3/4th are old i.e. 75 trees are old.
Let's say all 50 sandals are old and only 25 Ashoka (i.e. One one-half of Ashoka is old). Thus, option C would be correct.
