Correct Answer: 90,000
Solution : Ratio of investment = 3 : 8 Let the investment by A = 3$x$ and investment by B = 8$x$ ⇒ Investment by C = 8$x$ × $\frac{3}{4}$ = 6$x$ Ratio in which the profit is shared = (capital of A × time period of A) : (capital of B × time period of B) : (capital of C × time period of C) = (3$x$ × 12) : (8$x$ × 12) : (6$x$ × 8) = 3 : 8 : 4 Since share of C = Rs. 24000 ⇒ 24000 = $\frac{4}{3+8+4}$ × total profit ⇒ Total profit = $\frac{24000×15}{4}$ = Rs. 90000 Hence, the correct answer is 90,000.
