E Correct answer
Explanation

Investment ratio P:Q:R:S = 3:5:9:13. Time periods: P,S,R for 4 months, Q for 12 months. Profit shares: P=3×4=12, Q=5×12=60, R=9×4=36, S=13×4=52. Given R-P=2412, so 36-12=24 units=2412, 1 unit=100.5. Q+S = (60+52)×100.5 = 112×100.5 = Rs.11256. None of the given options match.
