      Solution

      According to the question

      Vikram’s capital = ₹3000 Meera’s capital = ₹3000 + 25% of ₹3000 = ₹3750 Vikram’s time = 12 months Meera’s time = 12 − 5 = 7 months Capital × Time: Vikram = 3000 × 12 = 36000 Meera = 3750 × 7 = 26250 Ratio (Vikram : Meera) = 36000 : 26250 = 48 : 35 Total parts = 48 + 35 = 83 Meera’s share = (35 / 83) × 1660 = 35 × 20 = ₹700
