D 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

ATQ, Ratio of profit share of ‘Aman’, ‘Bhanu’ and ‘Chetna’, respectively = [1200 × 15 + r × 9]:[1600 × 15 + r × 9]:[r × 15 + 800 × 9] = [6000 + 3r]: [8000 + 3r]:[5r + 2400] So, (3r + 6000)/(11r + 16400) = 1800/5200 = 9/26 Or, 78r + 156000 = 99r + 147600 Or, 21r = 8400 Or, r = 400
