Let the total money be x

then A's share = 512x\frac5{12}x


B's share =212x\frac2{12}x


C's share =112x\frac1{12}x


D's share =412x\frac4{12}x


If D gets Rs. 2000 more than B which means

412x212x=2000\frac4{12}x-\frac2{12}x=2000

x=12000x=12000


A's share = 12000×512=500012000\times\frac{5}{12}=5000


C's share =12000×112=100012000\times\frac{1}{12}=1000


(A+C)'s share = 5000+1000=6000
