C Correct answer
Explanation

Let K = 7x. Then T = 3/7 * 7x = 3x. P = 5 * 3x = 15x. Total investment ratio P:T:K = 15:3:7. Total parts = 25. Thyagu's share = (3/25) * 112500 = 3 * 4500 = 13500.

AI explanation

Let Thyagu's investment be 1, so Parthi's investment is 5; since Thyagu's investment is 3/7 of Kavin's, Kavin's investment is 7 divided by 3. The ratio of their investments is 5 : 1 : 7/3, which is 15 : 3 : 7. Thyagu's profit share is 3 divided by 25 of the total profit of Rs. 112500, which calculates to Rs. 13500.
