    2:3 respectively. After 4 months, C joined them with an investment 35% more than the investment of B. Find the profit share of C out of the total profit of Rs 4623 at the end of two years
    A Rs. 1960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1863 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. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively. So, the investment of C = 1.35 × 3x = Rs. 4.05x So, the ratio of their investments = (2x × 24): (3x × 24): (4.05x × 20) = 16:24:27 So, the profit share of C = 27/67 × 4623 = Rs. 1863
