    A Rs. 1,356 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1,695 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1,972 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 2,260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial investments of A, B and C be Rs. 7x, Rs. 5x and Rs. 13x, respectively. So, the ratio of profit share of A: B: C = (7x + 7x + 1520): (5x + 5x + 960): (13x + 13x + 2320) = (14x + 1520): (10x + 960): (26x + 2320) So, the profit share of B = {(10x + 960)/ (50x + 4800)} ├Ч 6780 = (1/5) ├Ч 6780 = Rs. 1,356┬а
