C Correct answer
Explanation

A = 1/3, B = 1/4, C = 1/5. D = 1 - (1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5) = 1 - (20+15+12)/60 = 1 - 47/60 = 13/60. A's share = (1/3) * 2460 = 820.

AI explanation

The profit ratio is directly proportional to the fraction of capital subscribed, where A gives 1/3, B gives 1/4, C gives 1/5, and D gives the remaining 13/60. A's share of the profit is found by multiplying the total profit by A's fraction. This calculation is (1 / 3) * 2460, which results in Rs. 820.
