    D Rs.6,540 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profits of Amit to that of Sara = {20,000 X 1 + (20,000 + 5,000) X 1}:{30,000 X 1 + 20,000 X 1} = {20,000 + 25,000}:{30,000 + 20,000} = 45,000:50,000 = 9:10 Required profit share = (9/19) X 13,800 = Rs. 6,540
