    Solution

    ATQ, Let the initial investments of Ayush, Tarun and Chintu be Rs. 4x, Rs. 5x and Rs. 7x respectively. So the additional investment of Ayush = 0.25 × 4x = Rs. x Additional investment of Tarun = 0.40 × 5x = Rs. 2x Additional investment of Chintu = 0.50 × 7x = Rs. 3.5x Ratio of investments of Ayush, Tarun and Chintu = (4x + 4x + x):(5x + 5x + 2x):(7x + 7x + 3.5x) = 9x:12x:17.5x = 18:24:35 So the profit share of Tarun = 24/(18 + 24 + 35) × 19250 = Rs.6,000
