A Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio X:Y:Z = 3:4:1. Z = 1 part = 3000. Total parts = 3+4+1 = 8. Total sum = 8 * 3000 = 24000.

AI explanation

Let the shares of X, Y and Z be 3x, 4x and x. Given Z's share is Rs. 3000, so x = 3000. The total sum distributed is the sum of all parts (3x + 4x + x = 8x). Substituting the value of x gives 8 * 3000 = 24000.
