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
