C joins the business with a capital of ₹ 21000. After a year, they earned a profit of ₹ 13200. By what value does the share of B exceeds the share of C ?
    1. ₹ 1600
    2. ₹ 1800
    3. ₹ 2100
    4. ₹ 2300
Correct Option: B

A's share : B's share : C's share
= [16000 x 3 + (16000 - 5000) x 9] : [12000 x 3 + (12000 + 5000) x 9] : (21000 x 6)
= (16 x 3 + 11 x 9) : (12 x 3 + 17 x 9) : (21 x 6)
= 147 : 189 : 126
= 7 : 9 : 6

Hence, B's share exceeds C's share by = {13200/(7 + 9 + 6)} x (9 - 6)
= (13200 x 3)/22
= ₹ 1800
