A Correct answer
Explanation

Ben: 40000 * 4 = 160000. Haydn: 80000 * 4 = 320000. Abdur: 48000 * 2 = 96000. Ratio = 160:320:96 = 10:20:6 = 5:10:3. Total parts = 18. Abdur's share = (3/18) * 12000 = 1/6 * 12000 = 2000.

AI explanation

Ben and Haydn invested for 4 years while Abdur joined at the end of 2 years, meaning he invested for 2 years. The ratio of their effective capital is 40000 times 4 : 80000 times 4 : 48000 times 2, which is 160000 : 320000 : 96000, simplifying to 10 : 20 : 6 or 5 : 10 : 3. Abdur's share is 3 divided by 18 of the total profit of Rs. 12000, which calculates to Rs. 2000.
