    Solution

    ATQ; Amount invested by ‘C’ = [(6000 + 9000)/2] = Rs. 7500 Profit shares of ’A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, respectively at the end of the year = [(6000 × 12): (9000 × 12):(7500 × 8)] = 6:9:5 Let the total profit received by ‘A’, B’ and ‘C’ at the end of the year be Rs. ‘P’ Profit share of ‘B’ = 18000 = (9/20) × P => P = 18000 × (20/9) = 40000 Profit share of ‘C’ = 40000 × (5/20) = Rs. 10000
