Correct Answer: Rs. 693


Solution : P invests Rs. 9100 for 3 months = Rs. 9100 × 3 = Rs. 27,300
Q invests Rs. 6825 for 2 months = Rs. 6825 × 2 = Rs. 13,650
R invests Rs. 8190 for 5 months = Rs. 8190 × 5 = Rs. 40,950
Total investment = 27300+13650+40950 = Rs. 81,900
Total profit = Rs. 4,158
Q's profit share = $\frac{13650}{81900}$ × 4158 = Rs. 693
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 693.
