    Solution

    Puneet's investment: 1000 [40 + (39+38+37+36+35+34) + (35+36+37+38+39)]
    = 1000 [40 + 219 + 185]
    = 1000 [444] = ₹4,44,000

    Gaurav's investment: 1000 [24 + (25+26+27+28+29+30) + (29+28+27+26+25)]
    = 1000 [24 + 165 + 135]
    = 1000 [324] = ₹3,24,000

    Harsh's investment: 11 × 70,000 = ₹7,70,000

    Ratio of Profits: 444 : 324 : 770

    Difference in the shares of Harsh and Puneet:
    {(770-444) × 7,69,000}/(444+324+770)
    = (326 × 7,69,000)/1538 = ₹1,63,000
