    C 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Profit share ratio of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ = (12000 × 12):[16000 × (12 – x)]:(18000 × 9) = 72:(12 – x):81 Given, the profit share ratio of ‘A’ and ‘B’ is equal. So, 72:8(12 – x) = 1:1 9 = (12 – x) x = 12 – 9 = 3 So, the value of x = 3
