A Correct answer
Explanation

Sekhar invests Rs.6000 for 12 months = 72000 unit-months. Suman joins after 4 months with 25% more = 6000 × 1.25 = Rs.7500 for 8 months = 60000 unit-months. Ratio = 72000:60000 = 6:5. Sekhar gets Rs.2700 (6 parts), so 1 part = 450. Suman's share (5 parts) = 5 × 450 = Rs.2250.
