5.28 kg

- The alloy consists of 32% copper and 24% nickel.

- Therefore, the remaining percentage for zinc is 100% - 32% - 24% = 44%.

- If the total alloy is 12 kg, then the amount of zinc is 44% of 12 kg.

- Calculate the zinc: \( \text{0.44} \times 12 = 5.28 \, \text{kg} \).

- Option:1, 672 gm - This is incorrect. It's only 0.672 kg, not matching the calculated amount.

- Option:2, 6.72 kg - This is incorrect. It's more than the zinc present in the alloy.

- Option:3, 528 gm - This is incorrect. It's only 0.528 kg, not matching the calculated amount.

- Option:4, 5.28 kg - This is the correct answer as per the calculation above.
