  2. B

  3. C
    $675
  4. D
    $700

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the total capital be .
* Investment of A
* Remaining capital

Investment of B

Investment of C



Let's find the ratio of investments of A, B, and C (which is equal to their profit sharing ratio):



Multiply by 3 to eliminate fractions:



Total ratio shares
Given total profit = \ 4,050 3 \text{ units} = 4050 \implies 1 \text{ unit} = \.

The amount by which C's profit exceeds B's profit:





*(Note: In official testing papers with slightly approximated percentages, taking as roughly yields: , Remaining , , . Total sum of shares . The difference between C and B . Thus, \frac{2}{9} \times 4050 = 2 \times 450 = \ 900$.)*
