Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- C’s capital $ =1-( \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8} )=1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8} $
Ratio of capital of A, B and C,
$ ( \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{4} ):( \frac{1}{8}\times \frac{1}{2} ):( \frac{3}{8}\times 1 ) $
$ =\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{16}:\frac{3}{8}=2:1:6 $
B’s share $ =\frac{1}{9}\times 9900=Rs\text{. 1100} $
