    investments in the ratio 4:6:9 respectively. After one year, Meera, Ravi, and Sohan made additional investments in the ratio 3:4:2 respectively. In this business, Ravi is an active working partner, so 25% of the profit is given to him for managing the business, and the rest is distributed among them in the ratio of their investments.

    Solution

    According to the question: Initial investments of Ravi, Sohan, and Meera: Rs. 4x, Rs. 6x, and Rs. 9x respectively. Additional investments of Meera, Ravi, and Sohan: Rs. 3y, Rs. 4y, and Rs. 2y respectively. Ratio of their profits: (4x + 4y):(6x + 2y):(9x + 3y) = (8x + 4y):(12x + 2y):(18x + 3y) Profit share of Ravi for being an active working partner = 0.25 × 3000 = Rs. 750 Profit share of Ravi for his investment = 0.75 × 3000 × (8x + 4y)/(38x + 9y) = Rs. 750 Total amount of profit received by Ravi = 750 + 750 = Rs.1500
