    B ₹34,080 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹28,530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹38,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A's investment for 6 months = ₹50,000, and for the next 6 months = ₹40,000. B's investment for 6 months = ₹75,000, and for the next 6 months = ₹1,00,000. A's capital = (50,000 × 6 + 40,000 × 6) = ₹5,40,000. B's capital = (75,000 × 6 + 1,00,000 × 6) = ₹10,50,000. A  = 5,40,000:10,50,000 = 18:35. A's share = (18/53) × ₹84,000 ≈ ₹28,530. Ans. c
