      Solution

      Let β€˜Z’ invested for β€˜m’ months. So,
      x = 12 βˆ’ m Ratio of profit shares of β€˜X’, β€˜Y’ and β€˜Z’
      = (7500 Γ— 12) : (5000 Γ— 12) : (10000 Γ— m) = 90 : 60 : 10m ATQ, 9000 / 18000 = 90 / (90 + 60 + 10m) 1 / 2 = 90 / (150 + 10m) 150 + 10m = 180 10m = 30 m = 3 So, x = 12 βˆ’ 3 = 9
