Answer : 4. "Rs. 1,00,000"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Rs. 1,00,000 Explanation: Deepa invested Rs.50,000 for 12 months, Rs.(50000 + 20000) for 12 months and Rs.(50000 + 20000 + 20000) for 12 months.i.e, she invested Rs.50,000 for 12 months, Rs.70000 for 12 months and Rs.90000 for 12 months.Sushma invested Rs. 70000 for 2 years; i.e, Rs.70000 for 24 monthsAnd, Avanthi invested Rs.70000 for 1 year; i.e, Rs. 70000 for 12 months. Their investing ratio:Deepa : Sushma : Avanthi = (50,000 x 12 + 70000 x 12 + 90000 x 12):(70000 x 24):(70000 x 12)= (25,20,000):(16,80,000):(8,40,000) = 252:168:84 = 3:2:1 Total profit for 3 years = Rs.3,00,000Therefore, Sushma's share = Rs.(3,00,000 x 2 /(3+2+1)) = Rs.(3,00,000 x 2/6) = Rs.1,00,000.
