Answer 1

The answer is 3)Rs15894

Answer 2

Answer:

C's share is Rs.15984.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The ratio of investment of A and B is 7 : 8

So, A: B = 7: 8

B: C = 4: 9

Multiply and divide 2

So, B : C = 8: 18

So, A: B : C = 7:8:18

So, total of ratios is 33

Let x be annual profit

B's share = $\frac{8}{33} \times x$

We are given that B's share is Rs.7104

So, $\frac{8}{33} \times x= 7104$

$x= \frac{7104 \times 33}{8}$

$x= 29304$

C's profit share =  $\frac{18}{33} \times 29304$

C's profit share =  $15984$

Hence C's share is Rs.15984.
