    B Rs.45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    K’s time-weighted capital = 3200 × 12 = 38400 L’s time-weighted capital = (2800 × 6) + (2800 + 1200) × 6 = 16800 + 4000 × 6 = 16800 + 24000 = 40800 Ratio (K : L) = 38400 : 40800 = 16 : 17 Difference = 2310 × (17 − 16) / (16 + 17) = 2310 × 1/33 = Rs. 70
