Rs 43,875

- A, B, and C invest Rs 27,500, Rs 32,500, and Rs 37,500 respectively.

- A takes a 20% working allowance from the profit for managing the business.

- The remaining profit is distributed based on their investment ratios.

- C's share of the profit is Rs 13,500.

- To find the total profit, let's calculate the total investment ratio sum: 27,500 + 32,500 + 37,500 = 97,500.

- The ratio of C's investment is 37,500 out of 97,500.

- After A's 20% cut, the remainder of the profit is 80%.

- C's share comes from 80% of the profit, so calculate:

$$ C's\ share = 13,500 = (37,500/97,500) * 0.8 * Total\ Profit $$

$$ Total\ Profit = 43,875 $$

- Option 4: Rs 43,875 is correct.
