Options:

₹48600, ₹72400, ₹120000

₹72600, ₹48400, ₹ 121,000

₹121000, ₹48400, ₹72600

₹121000, ₹72600, ₹48400

Correct Answer:

₹72600, ₹48400, ₹ 121,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹72600, ₹48400, ₹121,000

$I_X$, Investment of Mr. X = Rs. 1,26,000

$I_Y$ = Rs. 84,000

$I_Z$ = Rs. 2,10,000

$⇒I_X:I_Y:I_Z=3:2:5$

∴ Profit per part = $\frac{2,42,000}{10}=24,200$

$I_X=3×24,200=72,600$

$I_Y=2×24,200=48,400$

$I_Z=5×24,200=1,21,000$
