Correct Answer: Rs. 8,000


Solution : According to the question,
Total profit = Rs. 18000
Anuj invested Rs. 30,000 for 12 months.
Ajay invested Rs. 45,000 for 6 months.
And, Ankit invested Rs, 60,000 for 3 months.
Since profit is directly proportional to capital invested and the time duration of investment,
The ratio of profits of Anuj, Ajay, and Ankit respectively = 30000 × 12 : 45000 × 6 : 60000 × 3 = 4 : 3 : 2
So, the share of Anuj in profit = $18000\times \frac{4}{9}=8000$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 8,000.
