    D Rs.21,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit shares of 'Amit' and 'Vinod' = {(10000 × 4) + (10000 × 2 × 8)}:{(15000 × 4) + (15000 - 5000) × 8} = {(40000 + 160000):(60000 + 80000)} = 2,00,000:140000 = 10:7 So, profit share of 'B' = 51000 × (7/17) = Rs. 21,000
