investment 3x 4x 5x
Rate of return 6y% 5y% 4y%
Return \inline \frac{18xy}{100} \inline \frac{20xy}{100} \inline \frac{20xy}{100}
Total = (18+20+20) = \inline \frac{58xy}{100}
B's earnings - A's earnings = \inline \frac{2xy}{100} = 100
Total earning = \inline \frac{58xy}{100} = 2900
Answer: A) Rs.2900
