- ₹ 54000
- ₹ 64000
- ₹ 56000
- ₹ 55000
Correct Option: A
Let R's capital = 1
Then, Q's capital = 4
2 (P's capital) = 3 (Q's capital) = 3 x 4 = 12
∴ P's capital = 12/2 = 6
∴ P's share : Q's share : R's share = 6 : 4 : 1
Thus, Q's share profit = { 4/(6 + 4 + 1)} x 148500
= (4/11) x 148500
= 4 x 13500
= ₹ 54000
