Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) ₹60,000
Profit is shared in the ratio of (capital × time).
A: 45,000 × 12 = 5,40,000
B: 60,000 × 9 = 5,40,000
C: 90,000 × 8 = 7,20,000
Ratio = 54 : 54 : 72 = 3 : 3 : 4.
C's share = 4/10 × 1,50,000 = ₹60,000.
Tip: Cancel common factors early (divide everything by 1,80,000 → 3 : 3 : 4).
