    A Rs.28525 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.30000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.20125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.22125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Profit share ratio = (36000 × 12) : (24000 × 12) : (30000 × 6)
    = 432000 : 288000 : 180000
    = 24 : 16 : 10 Sum = 24 + 16 + 10 = 50
    Let total profit = 50x
    ATQ,
    24x – 16x = 4800
    8x = 4800
    x = 600 Total profit = 50 × 600 = Rs. 30000
