    A Rs. 4060.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 4000.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 3060.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 5060.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 6060.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial investments of A, B and C be Rs. 3x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 6x respectively. So the additional investment of A = 0.20 ├Ч 3x = Rs. 0.6x Additional investment of B = 0.35 ├Ч 4x = Rs. 1.4x Additional investment of C = 0.50 ├Ч 6x = Rs. 3x Ratio of investments of A, B and C = (3x + 3x + 0.6x):(4x + 4x + 1.4x):(6x + 6x + 3x) = 6.6x : 9.4x : 15x = 33 : 47 : 75 So the profit share of B = 47/(15 + 47 + 75) ├Ч 13392 = Rs. 4060.80
