C Correct answer
Explanation

Let C = x. B = (2/3)x. A = 3 * (2/3)x = 2x. Ratio A:B:C = 2x : (2/3)x : x = 6:2:3. Total parts = 11. B's share = (2/11) * 6600 = 1200.

AI explanation

Let C's investment be 6x, so B's investment is two-thirds of 6x which is 4x, and A invests 3 times B which is 12x. Their profit sharing ratio is 12x : 4x : 6x, simplifying to 6 : 2 : 3. The total profit of Rs. 6600 is divided into 11 parts (6 + 2 + 3), making each part worth 600. B's share is 2 parts, so B receives Rs. 1200.
