    C)  Rs. 2400                      

    D)  Rs. 3600

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    X : Y : Z = Rs. \[(16000\times 3+11000\times 9:12000\times 3+17000\]\[\times \,9:21000\times 6)\] = 7 : 9 : 6 \[\therefore \] (Y's share \[-\] Z's share) = Rs. \[\left[ \left( 26400\times \frac{9}{22} \right)-\left( 26400\times \frac{6}{22} \right) \right]\] = Rs. \[(10800-7200)\]= Rs. 3600
