    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of profit shares of X, Y, and Z respectively = (5500 Γ— 24) : (6600 Γ— 19) : (11000 Γ— 12) = 132000 : 125400 : 132000 = 44 : 41.8 : 44 (approx) β†’ Let’s simplify directly: To make it simple, let's divide all by 11: = 12000 : 11400 : 12000 = 10 : 9.5 : 10 So, total parts = 10 + 9.5 + 10 = 29.5 Y’s share = 9.5 parts = Rs. 1,320 β‡’ 1 part = 1320 / 9.5 = Rs. 139. Sum of X and Z’s shares = (10 + 10) parts = 20 parts β‡’ 20 Γ— 139 = Rs. 2,780
