B Correct answer
Explanation

Shridhar's 1-day work = 1/75, so Shravan's 1-day work = 1/25 - 1/75 = 2/75. With Pawan, 1-day work = 1/8, so Pawan's 1-day work = 1/8 - 1/25 = 17/200. Total 1-day work of all three = 1/75 + 2/75 + 17/200 = 3/75 + 17/200 = 1/25 + 17/200 = 25/200 = 1/8. Shravan's share = (2/75)/(1/8) × 225 = 16/75 × 225 = 16 × 3 = 48.
