    A Rs. 12,750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C Rs. 12,720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 17,750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of profit share of 'A' to 'B':

    = (9600 × 5 + 7200 × 12) : (11,200 × 12)

    = (4 × 5 + 3 × 12) : (7 × 12)

    = (20 + 36) : 84

    = 56:84

    = 2:3

    Therefore, profit share of 'B' = (3/2) × 8,500 = Rs. 12,750
