    B Rs.8400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.7212 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.6138 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let Z's capital be Rs. ‘x’

    Then, X’s capital = Rs. ‘1.4x’ and Y’s capital = Rs. ‘1.6x’

    Profit sharing ratio of X : Y : Z = 1.4x : 1.6x : x = 14 : 16 : 10

    Y's share = (16 / (14 + 16 + 10)) × 21000 = (16 / 40) × 21000 = Rs. 8400
