    Solution

    Let the time period of A, B and C be 4a, 3a and 6a respectively.
    Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 25X × 4a : (5X + 20) × 3a : (100 – 2X) × 6a
    ATQ,
    (25X × 4a)/((5X + 20) × 3a) = 100/75
    => (100X)/(15X + 60) = 100/75

    75 × 100X = 100(15X + 60)
    7500X = 1500X + 6000
    6000X = 6000
    X = 1
    Required value = 20 × 1 = 20
