    B 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profit shares of Anuj and Bheem, respectively, at the end of 28 months, = {Z X 16}:{(Z + 2,500) X 28} = (4Z) :(7Z + 17,500) ATQ, 4Z/(4Z + 7Z + 17500) = 516/2322 Or, 4Z ÷ (11Z + 17,500) = (2/9) Or, 36Z = 2 X (11Z + 17,500) Or, 36Z = 22Z + 35,000 Or, 14Z = 35,000 So, 'Z' = 2,500
