Correct Answer: INR 3,600


Solution : Let's denote the shares of A, B, and C as $A$, $B$, and $C$ respectively.
Given that the share of A is twice the share of B
⇒ $A=2B$
And, The share of B is thrice the share of C
⇒ $B=3C$
⇒ $A=2(3C)=6C$
According to the question,
After 1 year, they earned INR 6,000.
$A+B+C=6000$
⇒ $6C+3C+C=6000$
⇒ $10C=6000$
⇒ $C=600$
So, $A=6C=6\times 600=\mathrm{INR\ }3600$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 3,600.
