Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 3300.

Ratio of profits = Ratio of investments

Let the Profit of U, V, and W be Rs.15x, Rs.20x, and Rs.27x respectively.

ATQ -

⇒ Rs.15x + Rs.20x + Rs.27x = Rs.16230

⇒ Rs.62x = Rs.16230

⇒ x = 165

Profit of V = 20x = 20(165) = Rs. 3300
