A Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio 1/10 : 1/6 : 1/15 can be simplified by multiplying by the least common multiple, 30, resulting in 3 : 5 : 2. The total parts are 3 + 5 + 2 = 10, so C's share is (2/10) * 25,000 = 5,000.

AI explanation

To divide the amount, first convert the given fractional ratio 1/10 : 1/6 : 1/15 into a whole number ratio by multiplying by the least common multiple of 10, 6, and 15, which is 30. This results in the ratio 3 : 5 : 2, making the total number of parts 3 plus 5 plus 2, which equals 10 parts. C's share is 2 parts out of the 10, so C receives 2/10 of the total Rs. 25,000, which calculates to Rs. 5,000.
