✓ Correct Answer: Option C Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

The money is distributed in the ratio 2:5:4:3. Let the shares be 2x, 5x, 4x, and 3x respectively.

Given that Q gets Rs. 2000 more than S:

5x - 3x = 2000
2x = 2000
x = 1000

Total amount = 2x + 5x + 4x + 3x = 14x = 14 × 1000 = 14000

Answer: (C) 14000
