    B ₹800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹1,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹1,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Equivalent investment of A = 25,000 × 9/12 = 18,750 Equivalent investment of B = 50,000 Equivalent investment of C = 30,000 × 5/12 = 12,500 Total equivalent investment = 18,750 + 50,000+ 12,500 = 81,250 A's share = (18,750 / 81,250) × 3,900 =903.85 B's share = (50,000 / 81,250) ×3,900 =2,396.15 C's share = (12,500 / 81,250) × 3,900 = ₹600 So, C's share in the profit would be approximately ₹600.
