A Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate investment × time for each partner. Amit: Year 1 = 6000, Years 2-3 = 6000+1500 = 7500. Total = 6000 + 7500 + 7500 = 21000. Bhanu: Year 1 = 5500, Years 2-3 = 5500-2000 = 3500. Total = 5500 + 3500 + 3500 = 12500. Chandan: Years 1-2 = 7600, Year 3 = 7600-2400 = 5200. Total = 7600 + 7600 + 5200 = 20400. Profit ratio (Amit:Chandan:Bhanu) = 21000:20400:12500 = 210:204:125.
