B Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio of contributions = 5100 : 6800 : 8500 = 51 : 68 : 85 = 3 : 4 : 5. Total parts = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12. Z's share = (5/12) * 2400 = 5 * 200 = 1000.

AI explanation

Using the basic partnership rule, the profit sharing ratio of X, Y and Z equals the ratio of their investments. Their investments are in the ratio 5100 : 6800 : 8500, which simplifies to 3 : 4 : 5. The total profit of Rs. 2400 is divided into 12 total parts, making each part worth Rs. 200. Z holds 5 parts in the ratio, so his share is 5 multiplied by Rs. 200, yielding Rs. 1000.
