A. Rs. 20000, Rs. 25000, Rs. 18000

B. Rs. 15500, Rs. 27200, Rs. 20450

C. Rs. 22500, Rs. 6750, Rs. 5400

D. Rs. 10350, Rs. 21540, Rs. 12050

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Ratio of capital invested by
$${\text{A, B and C}} = 15:10:6$$
Total capital invested by A in 1 year
$$\eqalign{ & = 15x \times 4 + 30x \times 8 \cr & = 300x \cr} $$
Total capital invested by B in 1 year
$$\eqalign{ & = 10x \times 6 + 5x \times 6 \cr & = 90x \cr} $$
Total capital invested by C in 1 year
$$\eqalign{ & = 6x \times 12 \cr & = 72x \cr} $$
Ratio of profits:
A   :   B   :   C
300x : 90x : 72x
50x : 15x : 12x

According to the question,
$$ \Leftrightarrow \left( {50x + 15x + 12x} \right)$$     = $${\text{Rs}}{\text{. 34650}}$$
$$\eqalign{ & \Leftrightarrow 77x = {\text{Rs}}.{\text{ }}34650 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}\frac{{34650}}{{77}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}450 \cr & {\text{Profit of A}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}450 \times 50 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 22500}} \cr & {\text{Profit of B}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}450 \times 15 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 6750}} \cr & {\text{Profit of C}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}450 \times 12 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 5400}} \cr} $$
