D. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Total capital invested by A in 1 year
$$\eqalign{ & = 12 \times 4000 \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 48000}} \cr} $$
Total capital invested by B in 1 year
$$\eqalign{ & = 4 \times 6000 + 8 \times 8000 \cr & = 24000 + 64000 \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{88000}} \cr} $$
Total capital invested by C in 1 year
$$\eqalign{ & = 9 \times 8000 + 3 \times 6000 \cr & = 72000 + 18000 \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 90000}} \cr} $$
    A     :     B     :     C  
Capital   48000 : 88000 : 90000
  24 : 44 : 45

According to the question,
$$\left( {24 + 44 + 45} \right){\text{units}}$$     = $${\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{16950}}$$
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{113 units}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 16950}} \cr & 1{\text{ unit}} = \frac{{16950}}{{113}}{\text{ = Rs}}{\text{. 150}} \cr & {\text{Hence,}} \cr & {\text{Profit of A}} = 150 \times 24 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{3600}} \cr & {\text{Profit of B}} = 150 \times 44 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{6600}} \cr & {\text{Profit of C}} = 150 \times 45 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{6750}} \cr} $$
