Say d = $100.
After increasing by 40% the value of the investment = 100 + 40 = 140.
Each of 20 friends will receive 140/20 = $7.

Now plug 100 in for d and see what gives us 7. Only E works.

After the stock increased by 40%, the new value was 1.4d.

Thus, each of the 20 members received 1.4d/20 = 14d/200 = 7d/100.

Answer: E
