Solution

ATQ, Ratio of the profits received G, L and M {(4500 × 3) + (4500 + 900) × 6}:(2700 × 9):{(3600 × 3) + (4500 × 6)}  = 17:9:14 Let the total profit received by G, L and M together be Rs.'a' According to the question, 10% of a + (9/40) × 90% of a = 7260 Or, 0.1a + 0.2025a = 7260 Or, 0.3025a = 7260 Or, a = 7260/0.3025 = 24000 Therefore, total profit received by G, L and M together = Rs.24000
