Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
A Total Profit = Rs. 3600 Profit ratio, A : B = 5 : 4 B : C = 8 : 9 As B is common in both ratio, we make B equal in both ratio by multiplying One B in another. A : B = 5 : 4 × 8 B : C = 8 × 4 : 9 So, ratio of A : B : C = 40 : 32 : 36 = 10 : 8 : 9 Now, C shares in profit = $$\frac{{3600 \times 9}}{{27}}$$ = Rs. 1200Related Questions on Profit and Loss
