    Solution

    Since, β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ invested their sums for equal period, therefore, ratio of the profit received by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ will be equal to the ratio of sum invested by them i.e. 3:2, respectively Let the total profit received by them be Rs. 100x Therefore, profit distributed between β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 0.80 Γ— 100x = Rs. 80x Profit received by β€˜A’ = 80x Γ— (3/5) = Rs. 48x According to the question, 48x = 1764 => x = 36.75 Therefore, total profit received by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 100x = Rs. 3675
