A Correct answer
Explanation

P invests 2100 for 3 months, then 1900 for 9 months. Equivalent monthly capital: 2100×3 + 1900×9 = 23400. Q invests 1700 for 5 months, then 2300 for 7 months: 1700×5 + 2300×7 = 24600. R invests 1700×12 = 20400. Ratio 23400:24600:20400 = 39:41:34. P's share = (39/114)×2850 = 975.
