A Correct answer
Explanation

Investment ratio = 5000:8000:12000 = 5:8:12. Total parts = 25. Dinesh's share = (8/25) * 12500 = 8 * 500 = 4000.

AI explanation

Since the time period is the same, the profit ratio equals the investment ratio of 5000 : 8000 : 12000, which simplifies to 5 : 8 : 12. The total of 25 parts corresponds to the total profit of Rs. 12500, meaning one part equals 12500 divided by 25, which is 500. Dinesh's share is 8 parts, so 8 multiplied by 500 gives Rs. 4000.
