    Solution

    ATQ, Respective ratio of the profits received by ‘Akash’, ‘Bishnu’ and ‘Chintu’ = (4800 × 8):(3600 × 16):(6400 × 4) = 6:9:4 Therefore, let the profit received by ‘Akash’, ‘Bishnu’ and ‘Chintu’ be Rs. 6p, Rs. 9p and Rs. 4p, respectively So, profit received by ‘Akash’ and ‘Bishnu’, together = (6p + 9p) = Rs. 15p Required % = {(15p – 4p)/4p} × 100 = 275%
