    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the investments made by Anil and Sunil be Rs. '3x' and Rs. '4x', respectively. Ratio of profit share of Anil and Sunil = (3x × 6 + 3x × 1.25 × 12) : (4x × 6 + 4x × 0.5 × 12) = (18x + 45x) : (24x + 24x) = 63x : 48x = 21 : 16 Difference between their profits = Rs. 660 (given) Total profit earned = {(21 + 16)/(21 - 16)} × 660 = (37 / 5) × 660 = Rs. 4,884
