Correct Answer: Rs. 7000
Solution : Let A's investment be $a$ and B's be $b$. According to the question, $5a = 7b⇒\frac{a}{b}=\frac{7}{5}⇒a:b=7:5$ In a partnership, the distribution of profit is proportional to the investment. So, A's share of the profit = $\frac{7}{7+5} \times 12000 = 7000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 7000.
