    Solution

    ATQ, A's investment for first 5 months = 9600 × 5 = 48000 A reduced his investment by Rs. 2400 after 5 months New investment of A = 9600 - 2400 = 7200 Remaining time = 17 - 5 = 12 months A's investment for next 12 months = 7200 × 12 = 86400 Total investment-months of A = 48000 + 86400 = 134400 B joined after 5 months with Rs. 11200 B's investment time = 12 months Total investment-months of B = 11200 × 12 = 134400 Profit sharing ratio of A : B = 134400 : 134400 = 1 : 1 So, profit share of A = profit share of B Given profit share of A = Rs. 8,500 Profit share of B = Rs. 8,500
