B Correct answer
Explanation

Profit sharing in partnership is based on investment × time. Sonu invested Rs. 40000 for 3 years, plus Rs. 40000 more for the last 2 years: effective investment = 40000×3 + 40000×2 = 200000. Monu joined after 6 months with Rs. 60000 for 2.5 years: effective investment = 60000×2.5 = 150000. The profit is divided in ratio 200000:150000 = 4:3. Monu's share = (3/7) × 143360 = Rs. 61440.
