A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs. 6500 for 6 months, B, Rs. 8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months. A wants to be the working member for which, he was to receive 5% of the profits. The profit earned was Rs. 7400. What is the share of B in the profit. Pick one:
A) 2670
B) 2560
C) 2440
D) 2550
E) 2660
A is a working member and for that, he receives 5% of the profit   = 5% of 7400 =(5×7400)/100=370   Remaining amount =7400−370=7030   Ratio of their investments   =6500×6:8400×5:10000×3=65×6:84×5:100×3=13×6:84:20×3=13×2:28:20=13:14:10   Share of B in the profit   =7030×14/37=190×14=2660   Answer is 2660.
