    of Rs. 4,000, Rs. 4,500 and Rs. 5,500 respectively. After one year, A, B and C made additional investments of Rs. (x – 500), Rs. (x + 1000) and Rs. (x + 1500) respectively. Find the profit share of B out of the total profit of Rs. 7,560 after two years.
    A Rs. 2520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1890 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1540 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of the investment of A: B: C = (4000 + 4000 + x – 500) : (4500 + 4500 + x + 1000) : (5500 + 5500 + x + 1500)
    = (7500 + x) : (10000 + x) : (12500 + x)
    Profit share of B = {(10000 + x)/(30000 + 3x)) × 7560 = Rs. 2,520
