Rs 23,000

Rs 37,350

Rs 27,000

Rs 37,500

Let’s cut to the chase and break this down:

- Total profit = Rs 87,750.

- A, as the working partner, gets 20% outright. That’s 0.20 × 87,750 = Rs 17,550.

- The rest, 80% of the profit, is Rs 70,200. This gets split based on how much each person invested.

- Investments: A = 55,000, B = 65,000, C = 75,000.

- That’s a total investment of Rs 1,95,000.

- A’s share out of this is 55,000/1,95,000 = 11/39.

- So, A gets (11/39) × 70,200 = Rs 19,800 from the leftover.

- A’s total: Rs 17,550 + Rs 19,800 = Rs 37,350.

So here’s the answer:

Option:2, Rs 37,350 is correct.
