Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: Let's denote the total sum as S.

Step 2: According to the problem, when the sum S is divided in the proportion 3:5:7, Z gets Rs 8000 more than when the sum is divided in the proportion 11:15:19.

Step 3: This means that the difference between Z's share in the two cases is Rs 8000. We can write this as:

(7/15)S - (19/45)S = 8000

Step 4: Simplify the equation to find the value of S:

(21/45)S = 8000

S = 8000 * 45/21

Step 5: Calculate the value of S:

S = Rs 171428.57

So, the closest answer is d. Rs 175000.
