    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit shares of 'Anoop', to that of 'Bheem' and to that of 'Chitra' = (3250 × 12) :(3750 × 12) :(4750 × 8) = 39:45:38 Let the profit share of 'Anoop', 'Bheem' and 'Chitra' be Rs. '39a', Rs. '45a' and Rs. '38a', respectively. ATQ: 38a = 1140 Or, 'a' = (1140/38) = 30 So, difference between profit shares of 'A' and 'B' = 45a - 39a = 6a = 6 × 30 = Rs. 180Rs
