    B Rs.5200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.7265 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let shares of ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ be Rs. ‘x’, Rs. ‘y’ and Rs. ‘z’, respectively. So, (x/4) = (y/5) = (z/6) So, ratio of share of ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ = 4:5:6 Sum of the parts = 4+5+6 = 15 So, share of ‘Chintu’ = (6/15) × 18000 = Rs.7200
