    Ratio of their shares = (6000 x 12) : (4000 x 6) = 3 : 1
    ∴ Madhu's share = Rs.5200 x (1/4) = Rs. 1300

    Correct Option: B

    Ratio of their shares = (6000 x 12) : (4000 x 6) = 3 : 1
    ∴ Madhu's share = Rs.5200 x (1/4)

    Let C's capital = Rs.N Then B's capital = Rs. 4N
    ∵ 2(A's capital) = 3 (B's capital) = 12N
    ⇒ A's capital = 6N
    ⇒ A : B : C = 6N : 4N : N = 6 : 4 : 1

    Correct Option: D

    Let C's capital = Rs.N Then B's capital = Rs. 4N
    ∵ 2(A's capital) = 3 (B's capital) = 12N
    ⇒ A's capital = 6N
    ⇒ A : B : C = 6N : 4N : N = 6 : 4 : 1
    ∴ C's share = Rs. 5940 x (1/11) = Rs. 540

    Let C's capital = Rs. x
    Then B's capital = Rs. 3x and A's capital = Rs. 6x

    Correct Option: C

    Let C's capital = Rs. x
    Then B's capital = Rs. 3x and A's capital = Rs. 6x
    ∴ Ratio of capital of A, B, and C = 6x : 3x : x = 6 : 3 : 1

    Ratio of shares of A, B, C = 26000 : 34000 : 10000 = 13 : 17 : 5
    ∴ B's share = Rs. 3500 x (17/35)

    Correct Option: B

    Ratio of shares of A, B, C = 26000 : 34000 : 10000 = 13 : 17 : 5
    ∴ B's share = Rs. 3500 x (17/35) = Rs. 1700
