    Nitin, Rahul, and Anjali started a business with initial

    investments in the ratio 5:6:7 respectively. After one year, Anjali, Nitin, and Rahul made additional investments in the ratio 3:2:4 respectively. In this business, Nitin is the active working partner, so 20% 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 Nitin, Rahul, and Anjali: Rs. 5x, Rs. 6x, and Rs. 7x respectively. Additional investments of Anjali, Nitin, and Rahul: Rs. 3y, Rs. 2y, and Rs. 4y respectively. Ratio of their profits: (5x + 2y):(6x + 4y):(7x + 3y) = (7x + 2y):(10x + 4y):(14x + 3y) Profit share of Nitin for being an active working partner = 0.20 × 2800 = Rs. 560 Profit share of Nitin for his investment = 0.80 × 2800 × (7x + 2y)/(31x + 9y) = Rs. 720 Total amount of profit received by Nitin = 560 + 720 = Rs. 1280
