A Correct answer
Explanation

Investments: Aman = 70k, Sachin = 90k, Pahul = 110k. Total ratio = 7:9:11. Total parts = 27. Profit = 81000. Each part = 3000. Difference between Aman (7 parts) and Pahul (11 parts) is 4 parts = 4 * 3000 = 12000.

AI explanation

The investments of Aman, Sachin and Pahul are 70000, 90000 and 110000 respectively, giving an investment ratio of 7:9:11. Since the time periods are the same, the profit of 81000 is divided in this ratio, where the difference between Aman and Pahul corresponds to 4 parts out of the total 27 parts. The difference is (4/27)*81000 = 12000.
