    Solution

    P invested ₹6,000 for 2 years → His total investment time = 6000 × 24 = 144000 Q joined after 6 months with ₹14,000 for 1.5 years → 14000 × 18 = 252000 R joined after 1 year with ₹12,000 for 1 year → 12000 × 12 = 144000 Now, total investment time = 144000 + 252000 + 144000 = 540000 P's share in the total profit = 144000/540000 × 45000 = ₹12,000. Hence, P's share = ₹12,000.
