Solution

To solve this problem, we need to first understand the distribution of the profit.

  1. P receives 2/11 of the profit for managing the business.
  2. The rest of the profit is divided in proportion to their capital investment.

Given that P receives a total profit of Rs. 2800, we can set up the following equation:

(2/11)*Total Profit + (P's Capital/Total Capital)*Remaining Profit = P's Total Profit

Substituting the given values:

(2/11)Total Profit + (5000/(5000+4000))((9/11)*Total Profit) = 2800

Solving this equation will give us the Total Profit.

Let's simplify the equation:

(2/11)Total Profit + (5/9)((9/11)*Total Profit) = 2800

(2/11)*Total Profit + (5/11)*Total Profit = 2800

(7/11)*Total Profit = 2800

Total Profit = 2800 * (11/7) = Rs. 4400

So, the correct answer is Rs. 4400.
