• B. $5,900$
• C. $5,500$
• D. $5,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $5,500$

Given,

Capital invested by ram =$Rs.45000$

After 3 month

Capital invested ny sanjay=$Rs.60000$

After 6 months,

Capital invested by aditya=$Rs.90000$

Therefore the ratio of their share are =$(45000\times 12):(60000\times 9):(90000\times 6)$

=$1:1:1$

Total share=$1+1+1=3$

Ram shares =$\frac{1}{3}\times 16500=Rs5500$
