In my view Ans is “E”
Let me justify it
the option given in “E” is 160000
our problem is 8000,
therefore 160000-8000=152000 which is 850% more greater than 8000.
so Ans is “E”.
If i did any thing wrong please correct me

D !! 200 percent means twice.. 850 percent means 8.5 times.. question says greater than.. so ans = 8000 + 8.5 * 8000 = 9.5 * 8000 = 7.6 * 10 ^ 4

its simple..
answer is D
because
8000+(850/100)8000
8000(1+8.5)
9.5*8000
7.6*10^4
