Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Meera's salary = 10% of ₹80,000 = ₹8,000. Profit left = ₹72,000.

  2. Capital ratio = 1,00,000:1,50,000=2:31{,}00{,}000 : 1{,}50{,}000 = 2 : 3, so Meera's share = ₹72,000 × 2/52/5 = ₹28,800.

  3. Meera's total = ₹8,000 + ₹28,800 = ₹36,800.

Worth noting

₹28,800 forgets to add her salary; ₹32,000 ignores the salary and splits the whole profit.
