C Correct answer
Explanation

Sarita invested Rs. 50,000 for 24 months, Abhishek invested Rs. 75,000 for 18 months, Nisha invested Rs. 1,25,000 for 12 months. Profit ratio = 50000×24 : 75000×18 : 125000×12 = 12,00,000 : 13,50,000 : 15,00,000 = 24 : 27 : 30 = 8 : 9 : 10. Nisha's share = (10/27) × Total Profit = 12300. Total Profit = 12300 × 27/10 = Rs. 33,210. Option C matches this calculation.
