    C Rs.3,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of profit shares of 'Akash' to 'Bhanu' at the end of 2 years:

    = [1,200 × 1 + (1,200 + 600) × 1]:[2,000 × 1 + (2,000 - 500) × 1]

    = (1,200 + 1,800) :(2,000 + 1,500)

    = 3,000:3,500 = 6:7

    So, profit share of 'Akash' = (6/13) × 3,900 = Rs.1,800
