    Solution

    Rohit's investment: 1000 [32 + (34+36+38+40) + (38+36+34+32+30+28+26)]
    = 1000 [32 + 148 + 224]
    = 1000 [404] = ₹4,04,000

    Dev's investment: 1000 [18 + (20+22+24+26) + (24+22+20+18+16+14+12)]
    = 1000 [18 + 92 + 126]
    = 1000 [236] = ₹2,36,000

    Meera's investment: 7 × 60,000 = ₹4,20,000

    Ratio of Profits: 404 : 236 : 420

    Difference in the shares of Meera and Rohit:
    {(420-404) × 2,65,000}/(404+236+420)
    = (16 × 2,65,000)/1060 = ₹4,000
