A : B : C = Rs. (16000 x 3 + 11000 x 9) : (12000 x 3 + 17000 x 9) : (21000 x 6)
= 147 : 189 : 126
= 7 : 9 : 6
∴ (B's share) - (C's share) = Rs. [ 26400 x (9/22) - 26400 x (6/22)]Correct Option: C
A : B : C = Rs. (16000 x 3 + 11000 x 9) : (12000 x 3 + 17000 x 9) : (21000 x 6)
= 147 : 189 : 126
= 7 : 9 : 6
∴ (B's share) - (C's share) = Rs. [ 26400 x (9/22) - 26400 x (6/22)]
= Rs. (10800 - 7200) = Rs. 3600

Ratio of profits of A and B = 5/7 : 2/7 = 5 : 2
∵ (16000 x 8)/(N x 4) = 5/2Correct Option: D
Ratio of profits of A and B = 5/7 : 2/7 = 5 : 2
∵ (16000 x 8)/(N x 4) = 5/2
⇒ 20N = 256000
∴ N = 128000
So, B contributed Rs. 12800.

Let initial investment be 3k, 5k and 7k rupees.
∵ (3k - 45600) : 5k : (7k + 337600) = 24 : 59 : 167Correct Option: C
Let initial investment be 3k, 5k and 7k rupees.
∵ (3k - 45600) : 5k : (7k + 337600) = 24 : 59 : 167
⇒ (3k - 45600)/5k = 24/59
∴ k = 47200
∴ Initial investment of A = Rs. (47200 x 3) = Rs. 141600
