C)

Rs.18.70 lakhs

D)

Rs.20.15 lakhs

Solution:

Ans: (b)

Let amount invested by Y = a

And amount invested by X = 2a

Then, a + 2a = 27

So, a = 9

Income of X = 2a = 18

Income of Y = a = 9

Profit earned by X = 80% of 18 = 14.4

Profit earned by Y = 75% of 9 = 6.75

Total profit = 14.4 + 6.75 = 21.15
