Rs 100000

Rs 300000

Correct Answer:

Rs 200000

Explanation:

The amount and period of investment by X, Y, Z is:

                 X   :   Y   :   Z

Amount      1   :   3   :   6

Time         12  :   8   :   3

Profit share is divided among them on the basis of product of amount and period of investment,

X  : Y  :  Z  = 12 :  24  :  18   =   2  :  4  :  3

 Y's share = $\frac{4}{9}$ x 450000

               =  Rs 200000
