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 $
