Answer : 1. "Rs. 4000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 4000 Explanation: Given ratio of initial investments = 72:43:65 = 105 : 40 : 36.  Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.   ∴A:B:C = 105x×4 + 150100×105x×8 : 40x×12 : 36x×12                  = 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.   Hence, B's share = 21600×1054 = Rs. 4000.
