Correct option is D

​​​
Information Given in the Question:
A invested = Rs 2400
A invested for = 12 months
B joined after = 8 months
So, B invested for = 4 months
Profit of B = 3/11 of total profit
Concept/Formula Used in the Question:
In partnership business,
Profit ∝ Investment × Time
So,
Profit ratio = (Investment × Time)
Detailed Explanation:
Investment-time of A
= 2400 × 12
= 28800
Investment-time of B
= X × 4
= 4X
Since B's profit = 3/11 of total profit
So profit ratio of B : A
= 3 : 8
Now,
4x28800=38\frac{4x}{28800} = \frac{3}{8}​​
4X × 8 = 28800 × 3
32X = 86400
X =8640032\frac{86400}{32}​​
X = 2700
