Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

  1. Calculate effective investment (Capital × Months):

    • Arvind: 80,000 × 12 = 9,60,000

    • Bhavin: 1,20,000 × 8 = 9,60,000

    • Chandan: 1,60,000 × 4 = 6,40,000

  2. Profit Ratio: 9,60,000 : 9,60,000 : 6,40,000 = 3 : 3 : 2

  3. Total shares = 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 parts.

  4. Chandan's share = (2 / 8) × 1,05,000 = 26,250
