    A Rs.3060 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.4200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.3900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.5200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Increased investment of M = 4200 x 1.4 = Rs.5880 Increased investment of N = 6000 + 2400 = Rs.8400 Ratio of profit share of M and N = (4200 x 6 + 5880 x 6) : (6000 x 6 + 8400 x 6) = 7:10 So, total annual profit received by them together = 1800 x (17/10) = Rs.3060
