    Solution

    ATQ, Let the investments of 'X', 'Y', and 'Z' be Rs. '3a', Rs. '2a', and Rs. '5a', respectively. Let the time periods of investments of 'X', 'Y', and 'Z' be '4t' months, '6t' months, and '8t' months, respectively. So, the ratio of profit shares of 'X', 'Y', and 'Z' is: = (3a * 4t) : (2a * 6t) : (5a * 8t) = 12at : 12at : 40at = 3 : 3 : 10 Therefore, the profit share of 'Z' = (10/16) * 360 = Rs. 225.
