B Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio A:B:C:D = 7:9:8:5. C gets 8x, D gets 5x. C - D = 3x = 500. x = 500/3. B's share = 9x = 9 * (500/3) = 1500.

AI explanation

Let the shares of A, B, C, and D be 7x, 9x, 8x, and 5x. Since C gets Rs. 500 more than D, the difference is 8x - 5x = 3x, so 3x = 500 and x = 166.67. B's share is 9x, which is calculated as 9 multiplied by 166.67. B's share is Rs. 1500.
