Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Total Profit = 450,000
A = 75,000 × 3 = 225,000
B = 100,000 × 1 + 80,000 × 2 = 260,000
C = 150,000 × 3 = 450,000
Ratio = A : B : C = 225,000 : 260,000 : 450,000 = 45 : 52 : 90
Total Shares = 45 + 52 + 90 = 187
C's Profit =(90187)×450000=₹ 216577.54= \left(\frac{90}{187}\right) \times 450000 = \text{₹ }216577.54
