    C Rs.6600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of investments A : B : C = 3200 : 4800 : x Ratio of profit share A : B : C = (3200 Γ— 12) : (4800 Γ— 12) : (x Γ— 9) = 38400 : 57600 : 9x So, 38400/(38400+57600+9x) = 700/2800 = 1/4 β‡’ 38400 / (96000 + 9x) = 1/4 β‡’ 4 Γ— 38400 = 96000 + 9x β‡’ 153600 = 96000 + 9x β‡’ 9x = 57600 β‡’ x = 6400
