    Solution

    ATQ, Respective ratio of profit shares of N,S and D, at the end of the year: = {x ├Ч 1}:{(x + 3,000) ├Ч 1}:{(x + 12,000) ├Ч 1} = (x) :(x + 3,000) :(x + 6,000) Ratio of profit share of S to that of total profit = (x + 3,000) :(x + x + 3,000 + x + 6,000) = (x + 3,000) :(3x + 9,000) = (x + 3,000) :{3 ├Ч (x + 3,000) } = 1:3 Therefore, required profit = (1/3) ├Ч 15,000 = Rs.5,000
