Correct Answer: INR 2,520


Solution : The ratio of shares of A and B = 8 : 9
The ratio of shares of B and C = 2 : 3
The ratio of shares of C and D = 9 : 13
Ratio of shares of A, B, C and D = 16 : 18 : 27 : 39
Sum = INR 12,000
Difference between the shares of B and D = $\frac{39-18}{16+18+27+39}×12000$
= $\frac{21}{100}×12000$
= INR 2,520
Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,520.
