D Correct answer
Explanation

Riya's investment: 25000*12 = 300000. Sneha's investment: 30000*9 = 270000. Ratio R:S = 30:27 = 10:9. Riya's share = 10/19 * 19000 = 10000.

AI explanation

Riya invested Rs. 25,000 for 12 months, while Sneha invested Rs. 30,000 for 9 months, so the ratio of their profit shares is (25000 * 12) : (30000 * 9). Simplifying this ratio yields 300000 : 270000, which is 10 : 9. Riya's share is 10/19 of the total profit of Rs. 19,000, which equals Rs. 10,000.
