Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ₹$1800$
**Step 1 — value of one part.** Total parts $= 3 + 5 + 7 = 15$. One part $= \dfrac{5400}{15} = 360$.
**Step 2 — B's share.** B has $5$ parts $= 5 \times 360 = ₹1800$.
**Distractor check.** Option C (₹2100) corresponds to $7$ parts (C's share); option A (₹1500) to $3$ parts assigned to the wrong person.
