    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that Ratio of profit shares of 'Anoop' and 'Arvind' at the end of the year = (15000 × 12): [(t × 0) + (4 × 10000) + (12 - 4 - t) × 12500)] = 180000: [40000 + (8 - t) × 12500] = 180000: (140000 – 12500t) Then, [1800/(1400 - 125t)] = (2/1) Or, 900 = 1400 - 125t Or, 500 = 125t So, t = 4
