• B. Rs. 8000
• C. Rs. 16000
• D. Rs. 10000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Rs. 8000

Total investment of A = 100000 × 12 = Rs.1200000 Total investment of B = 50000 × 8 = Rs.400000 Total investment of C = 150000 × 6 = Rs.900000 Ratio of their profit shares = 1200000 : 400000 : 900000 = 12 : 4 : 9 B's profit share = 4/25 × 50000 = Rs.8000
