A Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio of shares is 3:5:6. Bachan's share (6 parts) equals 9996, so 1 part = 9996 / 6 = 1666. The total sum is (3+5+6) * 1666 = 14 * 1666 = 23324.

AI explanation

The total ratio parts are 3 plus 5 plus 6, totaling 14 parts. Since Bachan's 6 parts equal Rs. 9996, one part is 9996 divided by 6, which is Rs. 1666. Multiplying this single part value by the total 14 parts gives 1666 times 14, resulting in a total sum of Rs. 23,324.
