D Correct answer
Explanation

Profit is shared in ratio of investment × time. A invested 4800 for 8 months, so A's share = 4800×8 = 38400. B invested X for 12 months, so B's share = 12X. Total profit = 6900, A's share = 2400. A's profit ratio = 2400/6900 = 24/69 = 8/23. So 38400/(38400 + 12X) = 8/23. Cross-multiply: 38400×23 = 8(38400 + 12X) → 883200 = 307200 + 96X → 96X = 576000 → X = 6000. The claimed answer D (Rs. 6000) is correct.
