    Solution

    Ratio of share in the profit:

    Aman : Suman : Sujit = (24500 + 27000 x 4) : (34000 x 5) : (56000 x 3)

    = 132500 : 170000 : 168000

    = 265 : 340 : 336

    Share of Aman in the profit = 265/(265 + 340 + 336) x (100 - 15)/100 x 282300

    = 265/941 x 85/100 x 282300

    = Rs.67575
