C Correct answer
Explanation

The working partner gets 25% commission AFTER his commission is paid. This means: Commission = 25% × (Total Profit - Commission). Let commission be C and total profit be P. Then C = 0.25(P - C), so C = 0.25P - 0.25C, giving 1.25C = 0.25P, or P = 5C. Given C = Rs. 10000, P = Rs. 50000. Option C is correct.
