• A. 1800
• B. 3600
• C. 7200
• D. 10800
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3600

The ratio of investment
$=16000\times 3+11000\times 9:12000\times 3+17000\times 9:21000\times 6=147:189:126=7:9:6$
$\text{Share of Claudia}=26400\times \frac{9}{22}=10800\text{Share of Martha}=26400\times \frac{6}{22}=7200\text{Difference}=10800-7200=3600$
