    C Rs.2,360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3,300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit shares of 'Aman', 'Bhanu' and 'Chinu' = (14400 X 12) :(19200 X 12) :(10800 X 8) = 6:8:3 Let the total profit earned by the startup be Rs.'17a' So, profit share of 'Aman' = 17a X (6/17) = Rs. '6a' And profit share of 'Chinu' = 17a X (3/17) = Rs. '3a' ATQ; 6a - 3a = 1260 Or, 3a = 1260 So, a = 420 So, profit share of 'Bhanu' = 17a X (8/17) = 8 X 420 = Rs.3,360
