Solution

The correct option is A $60
Amount invested each month:
Rob=$10
Kiev=$3

Amount invested in a year:
Rob=$10×12=$120
Kiev=$3×12=$36

Ratio of their shares in profit = 120:36
i.e., 10:3

Total profit=$260

Share of Kiev in total profit = Share of KievTotal share× Total profit

=310+3 ×260

= $60

Thus, Kiev receives $60 as his share of profit.
