    Solution

    Let the initial investments of A, B and C be Rs. 3x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 9x respectively. So the additional investment of A = 0.22 ├Ч 3x = Rs. 0.66x Additional investment of B = 0.25 ├Ч 4x = Rs. x Additional investment of C = 0.30 ├Ч 9x = Rs. 2.7x Ratio of investments of A, B and C = (3x + 3x + 0.66x):(4x + 4x + x):(9x + 9x + 2.7x) = 6.66x : 9x : 20.7x = 37 : 50 : 115 So the profit share of B = 50/(37 + 50 + 115) ├Ч 18180 = Rs. 4500
