Correct Answer: Rs.5,600, Rs.4,200, Rs.1,400


Solution : Interest on capital:
A = Rs.80,000 X 10% = Rs.8,000
B = Rs.60,000 X 10% = Rs.6,000
C = Rs.20,000 X 10% = Rs.2,000
Total Appropriation = Rs.16,000
Profit = Rs.11,200
Appropriation > Profit
Ratio = 8,000 : 6,000 : 2,000 = 4:3:1.
Interest on capital:
A = Rs.11,200 X 4/8 = Rs.5,600
B = Rs.11,200 X 3/8 = Rs.4,200
C = Rs.11,200 X 1/8 = Rs.1,400
Hence, the correct option is 2.
