    Solution

    ATQ, Respective ratio of profit share of Atul, Bhasker and Chetna = [(p + 300) × 12 – 480 × 5]:[(p – 100) × 12 – 240 × 5]:[(p – 300) × 12 + 720 × 5] = [p + 300 – 40 × 5]:[p – 100 – 20 × 5]:[p – 300 + 60 × 5] = (p + 100):(p – 200):(p) ATQ, (p – 200)/(3p – 100) = 19500/66000 = 13/44 Or, 44p – 8800 = 39p – 1300 Or, 5p = 7500 Or, p = 1500 Respective ratio of profit share of Atul, Bhasker and Chetna = 1600:1300:1500 = 16:13:15 Profit share of Atul = (16/44) × 66000 = Rs.24000
