E Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate investment-time products: Sangram = 40000×6 = 240000; Avinash = X×8 = 8X; Akash = 44000×10 = 440000. Total ratio units = 680000+8X. Avinash's profit share = 33000/89100 = 37.04%. So 8X/(680000+8X) = 33000/89100. Cross-multiply: 8X×89100 = 33000×(680000+8X). Solving gives X = 50000. Total investment = 40000+50000+44000 = 134000, matching option E.
