Correct Answer: Rs. 23,000


Solution : Let A invest Rs. $x$ at the beginning of the partnership business, then the ratio of the profit A and B,
$=(x\times10+\frac{3x}{4}\times2):(\frac{3x}{2}\times8+\frac{3x}{4}\times4)$
$=\frac{23x}{2}:15x$
$=23:30$
The amount received by A in the profit,
$=\frac{23}{53}\times53000$
= Rs. 23,000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 23,000.
