Solution

The profit share of a business is divided according to the ratio of the product of the capital invested and the time for which it was invested.

Let's denote the capitals of A, B, and C as 2x, 3x, and 5x respectively. Similarly, let's denote the time for which they invested as 4y, 2y, and 3y respectively.

The ratio of their profits would then be:

A : B : C = 2x4y : 3x2y : 5x*3y = 8 : 6 : 15

Given that C gets a share of profit which is ₹1,47,000 more than that of A, we can write:

15 parts - 8 parts = ₹1,47,000 7 parts = ₹1,47,000 1 part = ₹1,47,000 / 7 = ₹21,000

Therefore, B’s share of profit is 6 parts * ₹21,000 = ₹1,26,000.

So, the correct answer is ₹1,26,000.
