(C) Let the total profit be $P$.$A$ received $\frac{1}{3}P$ and $B$ received $\frac{1}{4}P$.The share of $C$ is given by $P - (\frac{1}{3}P + \frac{1}{4}P) = P - (\frac{4+3}{12})P = P - \frac{7}{12}P = \frac{5}{12}P$.Given that the share of $C$ is $Rs. 5000$,we have:$\frac{5}{12}P = 5000$$P = 5000 \times \frac{12}{5} = 1000 \times 12 = 12000$.Therefore,the total profit is $Rs. 12000$.The amount received by $A$ is $\frac{1}{3} \times 12000 = Rs. 4000$.
