Correct Answer: INR 5,005
Solution : Given:
| A | B | C | |
| $100000\times 12$ | $140000\times 10$ | $200000\times 3$ | |
| Total | 12,00,000 | 14,00,000 | 6,00,000 |
The ratio is given as $A:B: C=6:7:3$.
Let the profit of C be INR $x$.
According to the question,
$3x=1155$
⇒ $x=$ INR 385
The total share of profits of A and B $=(6+7)\times x=13\times 385=$ INR 5,005.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 5,005.
