    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit share of 'Pawan', 'Qureshi' and 'Raju' respectively at the end of the year = {9,000 Ă— 6 + (9,000 + b) Ă— 6}:{12,000 Ă— 12}:{15,000 Ă— 6} = (18,000 + b) :24,000:15,000 So, (18,000 + b)/[(18,000 + b) + 24,000 + 15,000] = (1/3) Or, 3 Ă— (18,000 + b) = 18,000 + b + 24,000 + 15,000 Or, 54,000 + 3b = 57,000 + b Or, 2b = 3,000 So, 'b' = 1,500 Therefore, required value = 5b = 5 Ă— 1,500 = 7,500
