    Solution

    ATQ, Let, the sum invested by ‘Ankush’ and ‘Binny’ together be 4s Therefore, sum invested by ‘Ankush’ = 0.75 × 4s = Rs. 3s Sum invested by ‘Binny’ = Rs. s Total sum invested by ‘Ankush’, ‘Binny’ and ‘Chintu’ = 3s/0.5 = Rs. 6s Therefore, sum invested by ‘Chintu’ = 6s – 3s – s = Rs. 2s Ratio of profit received by ‘Ankush’, ‘Binny’ and ‘Chintu’ = (3s × 12):(s × 12):(2s × 8) = 9:3:4 Therefore, profit share of ‘Ankush’ and ‘Binny’, together = 6000 × (12/4) = Rs.18000
