B Correct answer
Explanation

Sheetal: 2600 for 7 months, then 3200 for 5 months. Capital-months = 2600*7 + 3200*5 = 33400. Manoj: 2400 for 7 months, then 3200 for 5 months. Capital-months = 2400*7 + 3200*5 = 32800. Ratio 33400:32800 = 167:164. After 33% donation, 67% remains. 67% of P distributed as 167:164. Difference = (67% of P)*(3/331) = 350 → P = 25000.
