    B ₹48,530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹68,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹45,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Compute “capital × time”: A: 40,000 × 12 = 4,80,000 B: 60,000 × 8 = 4,80,000 C: 50,000 × 6 = 3,00,000 Ratio A : B : C = 4,80,000 : 4,80,000 : 3,00,000 Divide by 60,000 → 8 : 8 : 5 Total parts = 8 + 8 + 5 = 21 Total profit = ₹1,26,000 1 part = 1,26,000 ÷ 21 = 6,000 A’s share = 8 parts = 8 × 6,000 = ₹48,000
