      which is 25% less than 'B’s investment. While 'A's investment lasts for 8 months, 'B' only invests for 3 months. Given that 'B' earns a profit of Rs. 1200, calculate the combined total profit that 'A' and 'B' earn from this business.
      A Rs. 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 4200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 3600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 4800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
