a)

If we assume weight of diamond 10x, will I come up with 10x because the ratio, given 1: 2: 3: 4 add upto 10.

So, individual weights of diamonds will be x, 2x, 3x and 4x

Original price = K (10x)2

Price for pieces = K (x2 + 4x2 + 9x2 + 16x2)

= K 30x2

Thus change in price us see in 100 Kx2 30Kx2 = 70Kx2 which is given is 70,000

So,the original price is Rs. 100,000
