Correct Answer: Rs. 2700
Solution : The ratio of profits of A and B = (capital of A × time period of A) : (capital of B × time period of B) = (4000 × 8 + 6000 × 4) : (5000 × 9 + 3000 × 3) = 56000 : 54000 = 28 : 27 Total profit = Rs. 6700 Active partner allowance = 12 × 100 = Rs. 1200 So, the remaining profit = 6700 – 1200 = Rs. 5500 Profit of B = $\frac{27}{28 + 27}$ × 5500 = $\frac{27}{55}$ × 5500 = Rs. 2700 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2700.
