Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 1600.
Given:
A, B, and C started a business investing Rs. 13,750, Rs. 16,250, and Rs. 18,750 respectively.
We know that,
In the partnership business profit is distributed in the ratio of their Investment.
Calculation:
The ratio of investment of A, B, and C is 13750 : 16250 : 18750 = 11: 13: 15
B's share is 13 units --> 5200
⇒ 1 unit --> 400
Difference in the profit earned by A and C is (15 - 11) = 4 unit
1 unit --> Rs. 400
⇒ 4 units --> Rs. 400 × 4 = Rs.1600
The difference in the profit earned by A and C is Rs.1600.
