B. $$\frac{10}{11}$$

C. $$\frac{9}{13}$$

D. $$\frac{10}{13}$$

E. None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the fraction be $$\frac{x}{y}$$
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \Leftrightarrow \frac{{x + 200\% {\text{ of }}x}}{{y + 300\% {\text{ of }}y}} = \frac{{15}}{{26}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{{3x}}{{4y}} = \frac{{15}}{{26}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{x}{y} = \frac{{15}}{{26}} \times \frac{4}{3} \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{x}{y} = \frac{{10}}{{13}} \cr} $$
