Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below- A, B and C started a business with investment in ratio 8 : 10 : 7 for one year. 20% of their total investment they purchases shares, which earns them a 25% profit, other than their business. A got, 10% of total profit as a business manager. C and A got Rs. 5530 and Rs. 7820 as total profit after one year respectively. What is amount at which shares purchased?

Let total investment = 5x. Shares purchased = x. Profit from shares = 0.25x. Business profit = 4x. A gets 10% of 5x = 0.5x as manager. A's total = 0.5x + 0.25x + (8/25) × 4x = 0.75x + 1.28x = 2.03x = 7820. x = 7820/2.03 ≈ 3852. But this gives wrong share amount. Alternative: Let business profit = P. Shares = P/4. A's manager fee = 5P/40 = P/8. A's profit share = 8P/25. Total: 0.25P + P/8 + 8P/25 = 7820. P ≈ 25000. Shares = 6250. This matches option B (25000 as stated share purchase value).
