B. Rs. 160

C. Rs. 180

D. Rs. 240

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Total Profit = Rs. 960/-
A : B = $$\frac{1}{3}$$ : $$\frac{1}{5}$$   = 5 : 3
Profit share of A = $$\frac{5}{8} \times 960 = 600$$
Profit share of B = $$\frac{3}{8} \times 960 = 360$$
Difference of their profit = 600 - 360 = Rs. 240
