    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of profit share of A and B respectively:

    = [(P + 1000) × 12] : [3P × 6]

    = (12P + 12000) : 18P

    = (2P + 2000) : 3P (dividing by 6)

    ATQ;

    (2P + 2000) : 3P = 10 : 9

    Or, (2P + 2000)/3P = 10/9

    Cross multiply: 9(2P + 2000) = 30P

    18P + 18000 = 30P

    12P = 18000

    P = 1500


    Required value = 1500 − 400 = 1100
