    A 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 145 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profits received by ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’
    = {(1000 × 2) + (500 × 2)}:{(1200 × 2) + (600 × 2)}:(500× 2)
    = 15:18:5
    Therefore, profit share of ‘C’ = 2128 × 5/38 = Rs. 280
