D Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio of investments: A = 2000*1, B = 3000*2, C = 4000*2. Ratio = 2000 : 6000 : 8000 = 1 : 3 : 4. Total parts = 8. A's share = (1/8) * 3200 = 400.

AI explanation

A invests 2000 for 1 year, while B invests 3000 and C invests 4000 for 2 years. The ratio of their profit shares is (2000 * 1) : (3000 * 2) : (4000 * 2), which is 2000 : 6000 : 8000 or 1 : 3 : 4. The total profit of Rs. 3200 is divided into 8 parts, so A's share of 1 part is 3200 / 8 = Rs. 400.
