    Solution

    ATQ; Amount invested by ‘C’ = [(2500 + 2000)/2] = Rs. 2250 Profit shares of ’A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, respectively at the end of the year = [(2500 × 12): (2000 × 12):(2250 × 4)] = 10:8:3 Let the total profit received by ‘A’, B’ and ‘C’ at the end of the year be Rs. ‘P’ Profit share of ‘B’ = 16000 = (8/21) × P => P = 16000 × (21/8) = 42000 Profit share of ‘C’ = 42000 × (3/21) = Rs. 6000
