    Solution

    Ratio of profit share of 'A' and 'B' = {(4x + 2000) ├Ч 4 + 8 ├Ч 1.5 ├Ч (4x + 2000)} : {(x + 1000) ├Ч 4 + 1.5 ├Ч 8 ├Ч (x + 1000)} = (16x + 8000 + 48x + 24000) : (4x + 4000 + 12x + 12000) = (64x + 32000) : (16x + 16000) Therefore, {(64x + 32000)/(16x + 16000)} = 10/3 Or, 192x + 96000 = 160x + 160000 Or, 32x = 64000 Or, x = 2000
