Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A = 80,000 (12 months)
B = 60,000 (6 months), then 75,000 (6 months)
C = 40,000 (6 months), then 36,000 (6 months)
Total Profit = 120,000
A = 80,000 × 12 = 960,000
B = 60,000 × 6 + 75,000 × 6 = 810,000
C = 40,000 × 6 + 36,000 × 6 = 456,000
Ratio = A : B : C = 960,000 : 810,000 : 456,000 = 320 : 270 : 152
Total Shares = 742
C's Profit =(152742)×120,000=₹24,582= \left( \frac{152}{742} \right) \times 120,000=\text{₹}24,582
