Solution

The correct option is A 5.34%
Let the value of Index = 100
Value of Reliance share = 7
Value of HLL = 13
Value of Infosys = 15
Value of remaining = 65
New value of Reliance = 7.63
New value of FILL = 14.3
New value of Infosys = 15.60
New value of remaining = 68.47
Hence, required percentage =3.4765×100=5.34%
