    B Rs.14,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.14,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.12,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let amount invested by 'Armaan' and 'Malik' be Rs. '7a' and Rs. '3a', respectively So, amount invested by 'Chinky' = (5/2) ├Ч 3a = Rs. '7.5a' 7a + 3a + 7.5a = 1,05,000 Or, 17.5a = 1,05,000 a = 6,000 So, investment by 'Armaan' = 7a = 14 ├Ч 6,000 = Rs.42,000 Similarly, Investment by 'Malik' = Rs. 18,000 Investment by 'Chinky' = Rs. 45,000 Ratio of profit share of 'Armaan', 'Malik' and 'Chinky' at the end of the year = [(42,000 ├Ч 9) + (50,000 ├Ч 3)] : [18,000 ├Ч 12] : [(45,000 ├Ч 9) + (40,000 ├Ч 3)] = 176:72:175 So, profit share of 'Malik' = {72/(176 + 72 + 176)} ├Ч 84600 = Rs.14,400
