Correct option is D

Given
Old Ratio = 5 : 7 : 8

Solution
New Apples=5×140%=5×1.4=7New Oranges=7×150%=7×1.5=10.5New Mangoes=8×175%=8×1.75=14New\ Apples = 5 \times 140\% = 5 \times 1.4 = 7\\New\ Oranges = 7 \times 150\% = 7 \times 1.5 = 10.5\\New\ Mangoes = 8 \times 175\% = 8 \times 1.75 = 14\\​​
New Ratio = 7 : 10.5 : 14
