d. Rs. 3820 e . Rs. 3720​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 3920

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B started a business with investments in the ratio 7:11

Let say A investment = 7A

Then B investnmet = 11A

C investment = 11A for 6 months only

C effective investment = 11A/2

Total investment = 7A + 11A + 11A/2  = 47A/2

A Share  = (7A/47A/2)  = 14/47 of total Profit

A Profit share = 13160 * 14/47   = 3920

Rs. 3920
