A Correct answer
Explanation

Investment ratio: 4000:6000:8000 = 2:3:4. Total parts = 9. Priya's share = (4/9) * 9000 = 4000.

AI explanation

The profit sharing ratio is the ratio of the investments, which is 4000 : 6000 : 8000 or 4 : 6 : 8, simplifying to 2 : 3 : 4. Priya's share of the profit corresponds to 4 parts out of the total 9 parts. Multiplying the total profit of Rs. 9000 by the fraction 4/9 gives Priya's share as Rs. 4000.
