Correct option is D

Given:

Capital invested by A = ₹6,000

Capital invested by B = ₹8,000

Total profit = ₹5,600

Required: Find the share of A in the profit.

Solution:

​$$\frac{\text{Share of A}}{\text{Share of B}} = \frac{\text{Capital of A}}{\text{Capital of B}} = \frac{6000}{8000} = \frac{3}{4}$$​​

Total parts of the profit:

3 + 4 = 7 parts

Each part of the profit:

Value of each part $$= \frac{5600}{7} = 800$$​

A's share in the profit:

A’s share $$= 3 \times 800 = ₹2,400$$
