Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- A’s share : B’s share : C’s share
$ =[16000\times 3+(16000-5000)\times 9]: $
$ [12000\times 3+(12000+5000)\times 9]:(21000\times 6) $
$ =(16\times 3+11\times 9):(12\times 3+17\times 9):(21\times 6) $
$ =147:189:126=7:9:6 $
Hence, B’s share exceeds C’s share by
$ \frac{13200}{7+9+6}(9-6)=\frac{13200\times 3}{22}=Rs.1800 $
