Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 5600
Given:
X invested = Rs. 4500
Y invested = Rs. 7000
Z invested = Rs. 9000
At the end of 2 years profit earned = 16400
Calculation:
The ratio of the amount invested by X, Y, Z
⇒ 4500 : 7000 : 9000
⇒ 45 : 70 : 90
⇒ 9 : 14 : 18
Total profit = Rs. 16400
Y's share = (14/41) × 16400
⇒ 14 × 400
⇒ Rs. 5600.
∴ Y’s share of profit is Rs. 5600.
