A) Rs. 1033.33 B) Rs. 1024
C) Rs. 1148.14 D) Rs. 1245.32
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1033.33

Explanation:

Let
P's capital = p,
Q's capital = q and
R's capital = r.
Then

6p = 8q = 12r
=> 3p = 4q = 6r
=>q = 3p/4
r = 3p/6 = p/2
P : Q : R = p : 3p/4 : p/2
= 4 : 3 : 2
R's share = 4650 * (2/9) = 150*6 = Rs. 1033.33.
