Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. The total investment is Rs. 4000 (A) + Rs. 5000 (B) + Rs. 6000 (C) = Rs. 15000.

  2. A gets 25% of the total profit for managing the business. Let's denote the total profit as P. So, A gets 0.25P for managing the business.

  3. The rest of the profit, which is 0.75P, is divided among A, B, and C in proportion to their investments. So, A gets an additional (4000/15000)*0.75P = 0.2P, B gets (5000/15000)*0.75P = 0.25P, and C gets (6000/15000)*0.75P = 0.3P.

  4. According to the problem, A gets Rs. 200 less than B and C together. So, 0.25P + 0.2P = 0.25P + 0.3P + Rs. 200. Simplifying this, we get P = Rs. 2000.

So, the total profit for that year was Rs. 2000. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs. 2000.
