    Solution

    Ratio of investment = 40,000: 30,000 = 4:3 Let total profit be 100 units. Equal distribution (70%) = Each gets 35 units. Proportional distribution (30%)-   Ravi gets 4/7 x 30 = 17.14 units,   Raju gets 3/7 ×30= 12.86 units. Total shares-   Ravi = 35 + 17.14 = 52.14 units, Raju = 35 + 12.86 = 47.86 units. Difference-   4.28 units = Rs. 6997.8 1 unit = Rs. 1,635 Total profit = 100 units × Rs. 1,635 = Rs. 163,500 Shares: Ravi = 52.14 units × Rs. 1,635 = Rs. 85,175,   Raju = 47.86 units × Rs. 1,635 =Rs. 78,325
