    investments in the ratio 3:4:6 respectively. After one year, Sneha, Deepak, and Mohit made additional investments in the ratio 5:3:2 respectively. Deepak is the active working partner, so 10% 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 Deepak, Mohit, and Sneha: Rs. 3x, Rs. 4x, and Rs. 6x respectively. Additional investments of Sneha, Deepak, and Mohit: Rs. 5y, Rs. 3y, and Rs. 2y respectively. Ratio of their profits: (3x + 3y):(4x + 2y):(6x + 5y) = (6x + 3y):(8x + 2y):(11x + 5y) Profit share of Deepak for being an active working partner = 0.10 × 4000 = Rs. 400 Profit share of Deepak for his investment = 0.90 × 4000 × (6x + 3y)/(25x + 10y) = Rs. 960 Total amount of profit received by Deepak = 400 + 960 = Rs. 1360
