    B 9500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of investments of Akash : Bheem : Chetna = 2400 : 3600 : p

    Ratio of profit share of Akash : Bheem : Chetna = (2400 × 12) : (3600 × 12) : (p × 8)= 28800 : 43200 : 8p= 3600 : 5400 : p

    So, [3600 / (3600 + 5400 + p)] = 600 / 1700

    9000 + p = 10200

    p = 1200

    So, the value of ‘p’ is Rs. 1200
