Correct Answer: INR 1,01,400


Solution : Investment ratio of A, B, and C = $\frac{2}{5} : \frac{3}{4} : \frac{5}{8} = 16 : 30 : 25$
So, A's profit : B's profit : C's profit
= $(16 \times 4 + 24 \times 8 ) : (30 \times  4 + 24 \times  8) : (25 \times 12)$
= $256: 312: 300$
= $ 64: 78: 75$
Now,
B's profit $=282100 \times \frac{78}{217}$ = INR 1,01,400
Hence the correct answer is INR 1,01,400.
