    B Rs.3060 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.3900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Increased investment of M = 4500 x 1.4 = Rs.6300 Increased investment of N = 5600 + 1500 = Rs.7100 Ratio of profit share of M and N = (4500 x 5 + 6300 x 7) : (5600 x 5 + 7100 x 7) = 6:7 So, total annual profit received by them together = 2100 x (13/7) = Rs.3900
