Correct Answer: 7,400


Solution : Amount invested by A = INR 92,500
Amount invested by B = INR 1,12,500
B's share in profit = INR 9,000
Let the profit earned by A be INR $x$.
According to the question,
$(\frac{92500}{112500}) = (\frac{x}{9000})$
⇒ $x = \frac{(92500 × 9000)}{112500}$
⇒ $x =  37 × 200$
⇒ $x = 7400$
$\therefore$ The profit earned by A is INR 7,400.
Hence, the correct answer is 7,400.
