Since, ‘A’ and ‘B’ invested their sums for equal period, therefore, ratio of the profit received by ‘A’ and ‘B’ will be equal to the ratio of sum invested by them i.e. 7:5, respectively Let the total profit received by them be Rs. 100x Therefore, profit distributed between ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 0.84 × 100x = Rs. 84x Profit received by ‘A’ = 84x × (7/12) = Rs. 49x According to the question, 49x = 1764 => x = 36 Therefore, total profit received by ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 100x = Rs. 3600
