12000, Rs. 20000, and Rs. 15000 in a construction business. After 8 months, 'Asmita' withdrew Rs. 2000, 'Bikshu' withdrew Rs. 10000, and 'Chetna' withdrew Rs. 5000 from their respective investments. If the profit received by 'Asmita' and 'Bikshu' together at the end of the year is Rs. 6300, determine the profit received by 'Chetna.'Solution
ATQ, Ratio of the profits received by ‘Chetna’= {(12000 × 8) + (10000 × 4)}:{(20000 × 8) + (10000 × 4)}:{(15000 × 8) + (10000 × 4)} = 17:25:20 Therefore, profit received by ‘Chetna’ = 6300 × {20/(17 + 25)} = Rs.3000
