Solution

The correct option is D

₹ 800


Ratio of investments = 25000 : 20000 : 10000

When we simplify this ratio , we get = 5 : 4 : 2

Let John get 5x Rafay get 4x and Usman get 2x in the profit as per ratio of investments

5x + 4x + 2x = ₹ 2200

11 x = ₹ 2200

x = ₹ 200

Rafay will get = 4x = 4 × 200 = ₹ 800
