    Solution

    ATQ, Let the initial investments of Pawan, Bhanu and Raju be Rs. ‘9x’, Rs. ‘13x’ and Rs. ‘11x’ respectively. Let the additional investments of Pawan, Bhanu and Raju be Rs. ‘7y’, Rs. ‘3y’ and Rs. ‘5y’ respectively. Ratio of proit share of Pawan: Bhanu: Raju = (9x + 9x + 7y) : (13x + 13x + 3y) : (11x + 11x + 5y) = 18x + 7y : 26x + 3y : 22x + 5y Proit share of Raju = {(22x + 5y)/(66x + 15y)} × 3240 = Rs. 1,080
