D Correct answer
Explanation

P's investment: 16000×3 + 11000×9 = 48000 + 99000 = 147000. Q's investment: 12000×3 + 17000×9 = 36000 + 153000 = 189000. R's investment: 21000×6 = 126000. Ratio of investments: P:Q:R = 147:189:126 = 49:63:42. Total profit = 26400. Q's share = (63/154)×26400 = 10800. P's share = (49/154)×26400 = 8400. Difference = 10800 - 8400 = 2400.
