Calculation:

According to the question:

Anuj invest for 12 months.

Ajay invest for 6 months

and Ankit invest for 3 months

So the ratio of investment is

30000 × 12 : 45000 × 6 : 60000 × 3

4 : 3 : 2

The ratio of Anuj is 

18000 × 4/9 = 8000

Therefore, Anuj's share in the profit is Rs. 8,000.

 Option 3 is the correct answer.
