    Solution

    Ratio of Atul : Brijesh : Chetan’s investments = (16,000 x 12) : (20,000 x 6 + 20,000 x 2 ): (18,000 x 2 + 20,000 x 6) = 1,92,000 : 1,60,000 : 1,56,000 = 48 : 40 : 39 Net profit after a year = Rs 25,400(given) Brijesh’s share = 40/(48 + 40 + 39) x 25,400 = 40/127 x 25,400 = Rs 8,000
