Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • According to the question, Ratio of capital $ =2:7:9 $ Ratio of time $ =\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{7}:\frac{1}{9} $

$ \therefore $ Ratio of Investment $ =2\times \frac{1}{2}:7\times \frac{1}{7}:9\times \frac{1}{9} $ $ =1:1:1 $

$ \therefore $ Share of each partner $ =\frac{1}{3}\times 1080=Rs\text{.}360 $
