      Solution

      Let the initial investment of Rishi be Rs. 5x. So, initial investment of Shri = 5x Γ— 1.4 = Rs. 7x ATQ, 7x + 5x = 48,000 12x = 48,000 x = 4,000 So, initial investment of Shri = 7x = 7 Γ— 4,000 = Rs. 28,000 Initial investment of Rishi = 5x = 5 Γ— 4,000 = Rs. 20,000 Now, profit share ratio = Shri: (28,000 Γ— 18) Rishi: (20,000 Γ— 18 + 25,000 Γ— 6) = 504,000 : (360,000 + 150,000) = 504,000 : 510,000 = 84:85 Therefore, profit share of Rishi = 33,800 Γ— (85/169) = Rs. 17,000
