Solution

The correct option is A

1870


Let the profit be Rs.x.
So, 0.8x will be the amount they will share according to investments ratio, which is 2:4:3.
As per the information, at the end of the year, 29×0.8x=49×0.8x+39×0.8xRs.2200
So, on solving we get x=Rs.4950
Shyam gets the profit of Rs.1870.
