[A].

[C].
[D].
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
| Ratio of initial investments = | 7 | : | 4 | : | 6 | = 105 : 40 : 36. | ||
| 2 | 3 | 5 |
Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.
| A : B : C = | 105x x 4 + | 150 | x 105x x 8 | : (40x x 12) : (36x x 12) | ||
| 100 |
= 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.
| Hence, B’s share = Rs. | 21600 x | 10 | = Rs. 4000. | ||
