Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 2750
Given:
The ratio of inverstment of A, B, and C = 4 : 5 : 6
The profit obtained = Rs. 8250
Concept used:
Profit ratio = ratio of the product of investment × time of investment
Calculation:
Profit ratio of A, B, and C = 4 × 1 ∶ 5 × 1 ∶ 6 × 1 = 4 : 5 : 6
Then, let the profit obtained by A, B, and C be 4x, 5x, and 6x respectively.
4x + 5x + 6x = 8250
15x = 8250 ----(1)
Profit share of B = 5x
So, (1) ÷ 3 = 5x = 8250/3 = 2750
∴ The profit share of B is Rs. 2750.
