a. Rs. 3250.5
b. Rs. 3750
c. Rs. 4062.59
d. Rs. 3682.89
e. None of these

ANSWER: Rs. 3682.89
 
A = (Investment * capital utilized) = (3 * 6) = 18
B = (5 * 4) = 20
C = (4 * 5) = 20
D = (6 * 3) = 18

Thus, out of Rs. 76 (18 +20 + 20 + 18), D's share is Rs. 18. Hence, out of Rs. 15,500 the share of D would be given as (18/76) * 15550 = Rs. 3682.89
