    and Rs. 9,000, respectively. If 'A' and 'B' invested their investments for 10 months and 14 months, respectively, then find the profit share of 'B' out of the total profit earned by them which is Rs. 6,500.

    B Rs. 4,086 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 4,136 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 3,586 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
