• A. Rs 8,000
• B. Rs 7,500
• C. Rs 6,000
• D. Rs 8,500
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs 6,000

Here, $C_1=16000,C_2=12000,C_3=8000,t_1=9,t_2=6,t_3=12andP=26000$
Suresh's share in the profit,
$=\frac{C_2\times t_2\times P}{C_1{t}_1+C_2{t}_2+C_3{t}_3}$
$=\frac{12000\times 6\times 26000}{16000\times 9+12000\times 6+8000\times 12}=\frac{1872000000}{312000}$
= Rs 6000
