    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of profit shares of тАШAnkushтАЩ and тАШBittuтАЩ = {(4 ├Ч p) + 8 ├Ч (p + 3000)}:{4 ├Ч (p + 3000) + 8 ├Ч (p + 3000 тАУ 2000)} = 3(p + 2000):(3p + 5000) Profit share of тАШBittuтАЩ = 83000 тАУ 42000 = Rs. 41,000 ATQ; {3 ├Ч (p + 2000)}/{3p + 5000} = (42000/41000) 41 ├Ч (p + 2000) = 14 ├Ч (3p + 5000) Or, 41p + 82000 = 42p + 70000 Or, p = 12000 So, investment made by тАШBittuтАЩ initially = 12000 + 3000 = Rs. 15,000
