The correct answer is
25,066

Investment and Profit Calculation

The initial investments are:

  • Pankaj: ₹62,000
  • Meera: ₹70,000
  • Ashok: ₹83,000

The total profit earned is ₹75,500.

Charity Deduction

A portion of the profit, 14%, is given to charity.

Charity Amount = 14% of ₹75,500

\( \text{Charity Amount} = 0.14 \times 75500 = ₹10,570 \)

The remaining profit is distributed among the partners.

Remaining Profit = Total Profit - Charity Amount

\( \text{Remaining Profit} = 75500 - 10570 = ₹64,930 \)

Profit Sharing Ratio

The remaining profit is divided in the ratio of their investments.

Investment Ratio = Pankaj : Meera : Ashok = 62000 : 70000 : 83000

Simplified Ratio = 62 : 70 : 83

Sum of the ratio parts = 62 + 70 + 83 = 215

Ashok's Profit Share Calculation

Ashok's share is determined by his portion of the total ratio.

Ashok's Ratio Part = 83

Ashok's Share = (Ashok's Ratio Part / Sum of Ratio Parts) * Remaining Profit

\( \text{Ashok's Share} = \frac{83}{215} \times 64930 \)

First, calculate the value of one ratio part:

\( \frac{64930}{215} = 302 \)

Now, calculate Ashok's share:

\( \text{Ashok's Share} = 83 \times 302 = ₹25,066 \)

Therefore, Ashok's share of the profit is ₹25,066.
