    Solution

    Let the number of months for which Ashish, Amit and Atul invested their money be ‘4x’ months, ‘3x’ months and ‘2x’ months, respectively. So, ratio of profit shares of Ashish, Amit and Atul = (8000 × 4x):(10000 × 3x):(24000 × 2x) = 16:15:24 Total distributable profit =1,40,000 – 30000 = Rs. 1,10,000 ATQ: So, share of Amit = 1,10,000 × {15x/(15x + 16x + 24x)} = Rs. 30,000
