    Solution

    Let the time period of A, B and C be 4a, 3a and 6a respectively.
    Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 15X × 4a : (3X + 26) × 3a : (1000 – 6X) × 6a
    ATQ,
    (15X × 4a)/((3X + 26) × 3a) = 5/4
    => (60X)/(9X + 78) = 5/4

    4 × 60X = 5(9X + 78)
    240X = 45X + 390
    195X = 390
    X = 2
    Required value = 20 × 2 = 40
