Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 750.
1/3 of A's profit is equal to 2/5 of B's profit
⇒ 1/3 A = 2/5 B
A's profit : B's profit = 6 : 5
⇒ Total profit = Rs 1650
⇒ A + B = 6 + 5 = 11 units
⇒ 11 units = Rs 1650
⇒ 1 unit = Rs 150
B's profit = 5 × 150 = Rs 750
