Answer: (4)

Solution: (4)

Share of profit = Geeta : Shweta : Sita $=4200: 8400: 5400$

$=7: 14: 9$

Sita’s share $=\frac{9}{(7+14+9)} \times 24000$

$=\frac{9}{30} \times 24000= \text{₹} 7200$

Remaining amount after investing $32 \%=7200 \times(100-32) \%$

$=\frac{7200 \times 68}{100}= \text{₹} 4896$
