Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • For management, money received by Anil = 10% of 9000 = Rs. 900 Balance $ =Rs.(9000-900)=Rs.8100 $ Now, ratio of investments $ =12000:20000=3:5 $

$ \therefore $ Anil’s share $ =Rs.8100\times \frac{3}{(3+5)} $ $ =Rs\text{.}8100\times \frac{3}{8}=Rs.3037.50 $

$ \therefore $ Amount received by Anil $ =Rs.900+Rs.3037.50 $ = Rs. 3937.50
