Correct Answer: 16,400


Solution : Profit is divided by the ratio of investment.
According to the question
Ratio of profit = 92500 : 112500 = 37 : 45
Let the total profit be INR $x$.
Share of B = $\frac{45}{45 + 37} × x$
⇒ $9000=\frac{45}{82} × x$
$ \therefore x=16400$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 16,400.
