Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Subhodh's Rs.3,60,000\text{Rs.}3{,}60{,}000 buys 15\frac{1}{5} share, so total capital =3,60,000×5=Rs.18,00,000=3{,}60{,}000\times5=\text{Rs.}18{,}00{,}000.

The remaining 45\frac{4}{5} is split 2:12:1, giving Sudip 815\frac{8}{15} and Sudipth 415\frac{4}{15}.

Sudip =18,00,000×815=Rs.9,60,000=18{,}00{,}000\times\frac{8}{15}=\text{Rs.}9{,}60{,}000; Sudipth =Rs.4,80,000=\text{Rs.}4{,}80{,}000.
