  2. B. 42486
  3. C. 44494 (Correct answer)
  4. D. 57640
  5. E. 77865

Correct Answer

Option C — 44494

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 44494.

Key Points

  • A ratio: 6400×4 + (0.7×6400)×8 = 25600+35840 = 61440.
  • B ratio: 7200×12 = 86400.
  • C ratio: (0.4×7200)×8 = 23040. Total = 170880.
  • (A+C) profit = [(61440+23040)/170880] × 90000 = (84480/170880) × 90000 ≈ 44494.
