    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit share of 'Amit', 'Bikash' and 'Chims', at the end of the year =  [20,000 × 3 + 24,000 × 9]:[25,000 × 3 + 20,000 × 9]:[15,000 × 9] = 92:85:45 'Amit' gets 40% of the share for managing the business = Rs. 40% of 37,000 = Rs. 14,800 Remaining profit = Rs.37,000 - 14800 = Rs.22,200 The remaining profit is to be distributed among 'Amit', 'Bikash' and 'Chims' based on ratio of their investment, which is 92:85:45 Profit share of 'A' = Rs.(92/222) × 22,200 = Rs.9,200 Total amount received 'Amit' = Rs. 14,800 + 9,200 = Rs.24,000
