B Correct answer
Explanation

Ajitesh's work rate is 1/8 per day, Piyush's is 1/12 per day, and together with Aryan they complete the work in 4 days (rate = 1/4 per day). Aryan's rate = 1/4 - 1/8 - 1/12 = 1/24 per day. In 4 days, Aryan does 4/24 = 1/6 of total work. His share = 48000 × 1/6 = 8000. Option B is correct.
