    Solution

    ATQ, Let the total profit received by them be Rs. 4x Therefore, amount to be splits among them in the ratio of the investments made by them = 0.75 × 4x = Rs. 3x Ratio of the investment made by them = 4500:5000 = 9:10 According to the question, (10/19) × 3x – (9/19) × 3x = 600 Or, x = (19 × 600)/3 = Rs.3800 Therefore, total profit received = 4x = 15200
