Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A = 12,000 (12 months)
B = 15,000 (6 months), then 10,000 (6 months)
C = 18,000 (6 months), then 28,000 (6 months)
Total Profit = 54,000
A = 12,000 × 12 = 144,000
B = 15,000 × 6 + 10,000 × 6 = 150,000
C = 18,000 × 6 + 28,000 × 6 = 276,000
Ratio = A : B : C = 144,000 : 150,000 : 276,000 = 24 : 25 : 46
Total Shares = 24 + 25 + 46 = 95
C's Profit =(4695)×54,000=₹26,147= \left( \frac{46}{95} \right) \times 54,000 = \text{₹}26,147
