A Correct answer
Explanation

The total ratio parts are 3 + 4 + 5 = 12. Each part is 6000 / 12 = 500. C gets 5 parts (2500) and B gets 4 parts (2000). The difference is 2500 - 2000 = 500.

AI explanation

To find the difference between the shares of C and B, calculate the difference in their ratio parts, which is 5 minus 4 = 1 part. The total profit of Rs. 6,000 is divided into 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 parts, making the value of one part 6000 divided by 12, equal to Rs. 500. Since the difference is 1 part, C gets Rs. 500 more than B.
