A) 16800, 18900, 21000

B) 21000, 18000, 16000

C) 18900, 21000, 16800

D) 20000, 15000, 17000

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Ratio of shares of $A$, $B$ and $C$ = Ratio of their investments

$=120000:135000:150000$ $=8:9:10$.

A's share = Rs. $\left(56700\times\frac{8}{27}\right)$ = Rs. 16800.

B's share = Rs. $\left( 56700\times\frac{9}{27}\right)$ = Rs. 18900.

C's share = Rs. $\left(56700\times\frac{10}{27}\right)$ = Rs. 21000.
