    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let the total profit = x
    The ratio of investment = 63000: 56000: 84000
    =63:56:84
    On dividing by 7, we get 9:8:12
    Now, sum of the ratios = 29

    Apply formula:
    C's share = (C's ratio/ sum of all three ratios)* total profit
    C's share = (12/29) * x = 54000
    x= (54000*29)/12
    x= 130500

    Hence, the total profit = 130500
