    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) × 8400 = {7(2000 + x) / 25(2000 + x)} × 8400 = 7/25 × 8400 = Rs. 2,352
