The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs 24,000.
Given:
Total profit at the end of the year = Rs 50,000.
Explanation:
Let the total invested by P, Q and R be 100x.
Now, Investment of P = 20% of 100x = 20x
Remaining investment = 100x - 20x = 80x
Investment of Q = 40% of 80x = 32x
Investment of R = 100x - (20x + 32x) = 48x
So ratio of profits of P, Q and R = 20x : 32x : 48x = 5 : 8 : 12

Hence the investment of R is Rs 24,000.
