    B Rs.2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.3900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.2800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Increased investment of M = 5000 x 1.4 = Rs.7000 Increased investment of N = 6800 + 2400 = Rs.9200 Ratio of profit share of M and N = (5000 x 6 + 7000 x 6) : (6800 x 6 + 9200 x 6) = 3:4 So, total annual profit received by them together = 1600 x (7/4) = Rs.2800
