1. $ 700
2. $ 800
3. $ 1000
4. $ 900

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : $ 900

Given∶

4 (Messi's Investment) = 6(Neymar's investment) = 10(Ronaldo's investment)

Total profit = $ 4650

Formula Used∶

Basics of ratios.

Calculation∶

Let 4 (Messi) = 6(Neymar) = 10 (Ronaldo) = k

Then Messi's investment = k/4

Neymar's investment = k/6

Ronaldo's investment = k/10

So, the ratio of their investment,

⇒ Messi ∶ Neymar ∶ Ronaldo = k/4 ∶ k/6 ∶ k/10 = 15 ∶ 10 ∶ 6 

Sum of the ratio = 15 + 10 + 6 = 31

Thus, Ronaldo's share = 4650 × 6/31 = $ 900

∴ The correct option is 4.
