Answer: Option A
Solution:
\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\text{x}}&{}&{\text{y}}&{}&{\text{z}} \\
{40,000 \times 6 + 60,000 \times 6}&:&{38,000 \times 6 + 30,000 \times 6}&:&{30,000 \times 6 + 45,000 \times 6} \\
{40 + 60}&:&{38 + 30}&:&{30 + 45} \\
{100}&:&{68}&:&{75} \\
{100}& + &{68}& + &{75}
\end{array}243 units → 38,880
1 unit → 160
Share of y, 68 units → 160 × 68 = Rs. 10,880
