Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e Rs.32,436.

Understanding/Application

Let the common ratio be x.

Vibha's share = 4x = 14416

x = 14416/4 = Rs. 3604 

Amit's share = 3x = 3(3604) = Rs. 10812

Sunita's share = 2x = 2(3604) = Rs. 7208

Total amount = (14416 + 10812 + 7208) = Rs. 32,436
