Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 3000

Formula used

Ratio of their profits - (share × Time)A ∶ (share × Time)B ∶ (share × Time)C

Calculations

Let C invested Rs. x

A invested Rs. 2x

B invested Rs. 5x

A and B invested their capitals for 12 months

C invested his initial capital for first 7 months and then increases his capital by 20%

Ratio of their share -

(share × Time)A ∶ (share × Time)B ∶ (share × Time)C

(2x × 12) ∶ (5x × 12) ∶ (x × 7 + 120% × x × 5)

24 ∶ 60 ∶ 13

Share of \(B = \frac{{60}}{{97}} \times 4850\)

⇒ Rs. 3000
