      A Rs.4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.3200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.1145 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.2520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the initial investments of ‘Arjun’ and ‘Bheem’ be Rs. ‘5x’ and Rs. ‘6x’, respectively

      Then, increased investment of ‘Arjun’ = 5x × 1.4 = Rs. ‘7x’

      Increased investment of ‘Bheem’ = 6x × 1.5 = Rs. ‘9x’

      So, ratio of profit shares of ‘Arjun’ and ‘Bheem’ = (5x + 7x):(6x + 9x) = 12x:15x = 4:5

      So, profit share of ‘Arjun’ at the end of two years = Rs. 9000 × (4/9) = Rs. 4,000
