Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- A’s profit: B’s profit: C’s profit
$ =320\times 4:510\times 3:270\times 5 $
$ =1280:1530:1350 $
$ =128:153:135 $
$ \therefore $ $ ProfitofA=\frac{128}{(128+153+135)}\times 208 $
$ =\frac{128}{416}\times 208=64 $
$ ProfitofB=\frac{153}{416}\times 208=76.5 $
$ ProfitofC=\frac{135}{416}\times 208=67.50 $
