Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Capital × months: 15,000×12=1,80,00015{,}000 \times 12 = 1{,}80{,}000; 20,000×9=1,80,00020{,}000 \times 9 = 1{,}80{,}000; 25,000×6=1,50,00025{,}000 \times 6 = 1{,}50{,}000.

  2. Ratio = 6:6:56 : 6 : 5, a total of 17 parts; one part = ₹2,000.

  3. Arjun's share = 6 × ₹2,000 = ₹12,000.

Worth noting

₹8,500 comes from using capital alone (15/6015/60 of the profit); ₹10,000 is Charan's share.
