c) Rs. 300
d) Rs. 50​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Profit different between X and Y is Rs. 100.

Solution:

Profit = Rs. 500

Ratio of X, Y = 1/2 : 1/3

Sum of ratio = 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6

Profit of X = 500 * (1/2)/(5/6)

=> 500 * 6/10 = Rs. 300

Profit of Y = 500 * (1/3)/(5/6)

=> 500 * 6/15 = Rs. 200

Profit difference between X and Y = Rs. 300 - Rs. 200 = Rs. 100.
