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.
