Answer: Option C. -> Rs. 472
Total profit = Rs. 880
Since A gets 15% of total profit for management
∴ Remaining profit
$$\eqalign{
& = 880 - \frac{{880 \times 15}}{{100}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}.\,748 \cr} $$

The remaining profit is being divided in the ratio of their capital
A's share of profit
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{748}}{{\left( {5 + 6} \right)}} \times 5 \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}.\,340 \cr} $$
Total profit received by A
= 340 + 132
= Rs. 472
Total profit = Rs. 880
Since A gets 15% of total profit for management
∴ Remaining profit

Answer: Option C. -> Rs. 1836
$$\eqalign{
& = {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}}:{\text{D}} \cr

& {\text{A's share}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{15x}}{{68}}} \right) \cr

Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 1240
Ratio of initial investments
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}:\frac{1}{5} \cr
& = 20:15:12 \cr} $$
Let their initial investments be 20x, 15x and 12x respectively
= A : B : C
= (20x × 15 + 10x × 15) : (15x × 30) : (12x × 30)
= 450x : 450x : 360x
= 5 : 5 : 4
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {\text{C's share}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {4340 \times \frac{4}{{14}}} \right) \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.1240}} \cr} $$
Ratio of initial investments

= A : B : C
= (20x × 15 + 10x × 15) : (15x × 30) : (12x × 30)
= 450x : 450x : 360x
= 5 : 5 : 4
$$\eqalign{

Answer: Option B. -> Rs. 150
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let total capital}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{x}} \cr
& {\text{Then, A's capital}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{x}{3} \cr} $$
B's capital = (A + C)'s capital ⇒ 2(B's capital)
B's capital = (A + B + C)'s capital = Rs. x
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow {\text{B's capital}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\frac{x}{2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{C's capital}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left[ {x - \left( {\frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{2}} \right)} \right] \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{x}{6} \cr
& \therefore {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} \cr
& = \frac{x}{3}:\frac{x}{2}:\frac{x}{6} \cr
& = 2:3:1 \cr
& {\text{So C's share}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {900 \times \frac{1}{6}} \right) \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{150}} \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let total capital}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{x}} \cr
& {\text{Then, A's capital}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{x}{3} \cr} $$
B's capital = (A + C)'s capital ⇒ 2(B's capital)
B's capital = (A + B + C)'s capital = Rs. x
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow {\text{B's capital}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\frac{x}{2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{C's capital}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left[ {x - \left( {\frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{2}} \right)} \right] \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{x}{6} \cr
& \therefore {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} \cr
& = \frac{x}{3}:\frac{x}{2}:\frac{x}{6} \cr
& = 2:3:1 \cr
& {\text{So C's share}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {900 \times \frac{1}{6}} \right) \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{150}} \cr} $$

Answer: Option B. -> 19 : 11 : 10
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let the total share}} = {\text{200 units}} \cr
& \therefore {\text{Share of C}} = 200 \times \frac{1}{4} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 50{\text{ units}} \cr
& {\text{Remaining share}} \cr
& = \left( {200 - 50} \right) \cr

& {\text{Share of B}} = \frac{{200}}{{3 + 2}} \times 2 \cr

According to the question,
C received equal amounts from A and B
$$\eqalign{

Answer: Option D. -> 8 months
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Suppose B joined for }}x{\text{ months}} \cr
& {\text{Then,}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{85000 \times 12}}{{42500 \times x}} = \frac{3}{1} \cr

Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 28000
Suppose B invested Rs. x for y months
Then, A invested Rs. 3x for 2y months
$$\eqalign{

& \therefore {\text{B's profit}}:{\text{Total profit}} = 1:7 \cr
& {\text{Let the total profit is Rs}}{\text{. }}x \cr
& {\text{Then,}}\frac{1}{7} = \frac{{4000}}{x} \cr
