    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. β€˜5x’, Rs. β€˜7x’ and Rs. β€˜8x’, respectively.
    Let the additional investments of Nitesh, Jaydeep and Jayvijay be Rs. β€˜5y’, Rs. β€˜9y’ and Rs. β€˜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)} Γ— 4000 = Rs. 1,000
