Choose the most appropriate option:
A) Rs. 1900
B) Rs. 2660
C) Rs. 2800
D) Rs. 2840
E) Rs. 2440
For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.   Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.   Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)   = 39000 : 42000 : 30000   = 13 : 14 : 10   B's share = Rs.	7030 x14	= Rs. 2660   ANSWER:Rs. 2660
