    Solution

    ATQ, Let, the increased investments of Amit, Bheem and Chintu are Rs. 3a, Rs. 3a and Rs. 4a, respectively. Ratio of their profits = 6000 + 6000 + 3a : 9000 + 9000 + 3a : 15000 + 15000 + 4a = 12000 + 3a : 18000 + 3a : 30000 + 4a Profit share of Bheem = (18000 + 3a)/ (60000 + 10a) × 7560 = {3(6000 + a)/10(6000 + a)} × 7560 = 3/10 × 7560 = Rs.2,268
