Ratio of Capital invested by Gold, Silver and Bronze = 6 : 4 : 3 Let the Capital invested by Gold, Silver and Bronze = 6x, 4x and 3x respectively Total Capital invested by Gold in 1 year = 6x × 4 + 12x × 8 = 24x + 96x = 120x Total Capital invested by Silver in 1 year = 4x × 6 + 2x × 6 = 24x + 12x = 36x Total Capital invested by Bronze in 1 year = 3x × 12 = 36x Ratio of Profits             
According to the question, (10x + 3x + 3x) = 32800 16x = 32800 x = 2050 Profit Share of Gold = 2050 × 10 = 20500 Profit Share of Silver = 2050 × 3 = 6150 Profit Share of Bronze = 2050 × 3 = 6150Â
