    Solution

    Investments of A : B : C = 1/5 : 1/4 : 2/6 = 12 : 15 : 20 After 6 months C withdrew 1/4, so 1/4 × 20 = 5, so he invested = 20 - 5 = 15 (for another 6 months) So, now ratio of shares of A : B : C is 12 × 12 : 15 × 12 : 20 × 6 + 15 × 6 = 24 : 30 : 35 So ATQ, Share of A & B = 24 + 30 = 54 units 54 units => 54000 So, 1 unit = Rs. 1000 So, Share of C = 35 units = 35 × 1000 = Rs. 35000
