Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Take the capitals as 2, 3 and 4 units.

  2. Ali: 2×3+4×9=422 \times 3 + 4 \times 9 = 42. Bina: 3×6+1.5×6=273 \times 6 + 1.5 \times 6 = 27. Charu: 4×12=484 \times 12 = 48.

  3. Ratio = 42:27:48=14:9:1642 : 27 : 48 = 14 : 9 : 16, a total of 39 parts; one part = ₹2,000.

  4. Charu's share = 16 × ₹2,000 = ₹32,000.

Worth noting

₹34,667 (approximately) uses the starting ratio 2:3:42 : 3 : 4 and ignores the changes; ₹28,000 is Ali's share.
