    B 490 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 435 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 455 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 475 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of profit share of A to B = [x + 75 + x + 75 + 120]:[x – 55 + x – 55 + 200] = [2x + 270]:[2x + 90] According to question; (2x + 270)/(2x + 90) = 7/6 => 12x + 1620 = 14x + 630 => 2x = 990 => x = 495
