    A and B started a business with investments in the ratio

    11:10 respectively. After 10 months, C joined them with an investment 40% more than the investment of B. Find the profit share of C out of the total profit of Rs 14000 at the end of two years.
    A Rs. 1960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 3920 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the investments of A and B be Rs. 11x and Rs. 10x respectively. So, the investment of C = 1.40 × 10x = Rs. 14x So, the ratio of their investments = (11x × 24): (10x × 24): (14x × 14) = 66:60:49 So, the profit share of C = 49/175 × 14000 = Rs. 3920
