Answer:

Correct option is $6410.96

Explanation:

Let investment in K=$x  

Hence investment in L=(12000-x)

Portfolio return=Respective return*Respective weights

9.75=(x/12000*8.05)+(12000-x)/12000*11.7

(9.75*12000)=8.05x+140400-11.7x

117000=8.05x+140400-11.7x

x=(140400-117000)/(11.7-8.05)

=$6410.96(Approx)=investment in K
