Solution : Given: A profit of Rs. 960 is divided between A and B in the ratio of $\frac{1}{3}$: $\frac{1}{5}$. So, A : B = $\frac{1}{3}$ : $\frac{1}{5}$ = 5 : 3 So, the profit share of A $= \frac{5}{8} × 960 =$ Rs. $600$ and profit share of B $= \frac{3}{8} × 960 =$ Rs. $360$ Difference between the profits of A and B = 600 – 360 = Rs. 240 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 240.
