Options:

10800

11200

12000

5400

Correct Answer:

10800

Explanation:

33 \(\frac{1}{3}\)% = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

              A   :     B

Inv.    :   1   :     2

Profit :    1   :     2        = 3R

*If time is same then investment ratio becomes profit ratio*

ATQ,

⇒ 3R = 16200

⇒ 1R = 5400

B's profit = 2R = 2 × 5400 = 10800
