- A, B, and C invest in a business with Rs 1,37,500, Rs 1,62,500, and Rs 1,87,500 respectively.

- A receives 20% of the profit as a working allowance.

- Calculate A's working allowance: 20% of Rs 2,19,375 equals Rs 43,875.

- Remaining profit after A's allowance: Rs 2,19,375 - Rs 43,875 = Rs 1,75,500.

- The remaining profit is shared according to investment ratios: A's share: 1,37,500, B's share: 1,62,500, C's share: 1,87,500.

- Total investment = 1,37,500 + 1,62,500 + 1,87,500 = Rs 4,87,500.

- C's share ratio = 1,87,500 / 4,87,500.

- C's profit share = (1,87,500 / 4,87,500) * 1,75,500 = Rs 67,500.

- Correct answer: Option 3: Rs 67,500
