      A Rs 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs 1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs 800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the initial investments made by Nitesh, Jaydeep and Jayvijay be Rs. ‘5x’, Rs. ‘7x’ and Rs. ‘8x’, respectively.
      Let the additional investments of Nitesh, Jaydeep and Jayvijay be Rs. ‘5y’, Rs. ‘9y’ and Rs. ‘6y’, respectively.
      Respective ratio of investments of Nitesh, Jaydeep and Jayvijay = (5x + 5x + 5y):(7x + 7x + 9y):(8x + 8x + 6y)
      = (10x + 5y):(14x + 9y):(16x + 6y)
      So the profit share of Nitesh = {(10x + 5y)/(40x + 20y)} × 4000 = Rs. 1,000
