      C Rs.1,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.2,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the initial investment made by ‘Aditi’ and ‘Bhisnu’ be Rs. ‘9a’ and Rs. ‘8a’, respectively. Then, initial investment of ‘Chetna’ = Rs. (8a – 800) Ratio of profit shares of ‘B’ and ‘C’ = (8a × 18 + 8a × 1.25 × 18):{(8a – 800) × 18 + (8a – 800) × 2 × 18} = 324a:(432a – 43200) = 1:1 Or, 108a = 43200 So, a = 43200 ÷ 108 = 400 So, amount invested by ‘Aditi’, initially = 9 × 400 = Rs. 3,600
