    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    A's capital be C1 = 14000

    B's capital be C2 = 16000

    C's capital be C3 = 12000

    A's time be T1 = 24 months

    B's time be T2 = 24 months

    C's time be T3 = 16 months

    Profit: 57000

    Apply formula: Profit of A: Profit of B: Profit of C = C1*T1: C2*T2:C3*T3

    = 14000*24: 16000*24:12000*16

    = 336000:384000:192000

    = 7: 8: 4
    C's share = * 57000 = 12000 (Option A)
