      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the additional investments of X, Y and Z be Rs. 2x, Rs. 3x, and Rs. 5x respectively. Ratio of their profits = 5000 + 5000 + 2x : 7000 + 7000 + 3x : 13000 + 13000 + 5x = 10000 + 2x : 14000 + 3x : 26000 + 5x Profit share of Y = (14000 + 3x) / (50000 + 10x) Γ— 8400 = {7(2000 + x) / 25(2000 + x)} Γ— 8400 = 7/25 Γ— 8400 = Rs. 2,352
