    Solution

    ATQ, Let C investment = (30,000+31,000+32,000+33,000+34,000+35,000+36,000) + (35,000+34,000+33,000+32,000+31,000) 1000{[30+31+32+33+34+35]+[35+34+33+32+31]} = 1000(396) = Rs.3.96,000 J’s Investment = 1000[(20+19+18+17+16+15+14) + (15+16+17+18+19)] = 1000(204) = Rs.2,04,000 R’s Investment = 55,000 × 9 = Rs.4,95,000 Ratio’s of profit = C:J:R = 396:204:495 Hence required  difference = [(495-396)×2,19,000]/(396+204+495) = (99 × 2.19,000)/1095 = Rs.19,800
