    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the investment of 'Pawan' and 'Qureshi' be Rs. '8a' and Rs. '9a', respectively. Let the time periods of investment of 'Pawan' and 'Qureshi' be '3b' and '4b', years respectively. Ratio of profit shares of 'Pawan' to that of 'Qureshi' = (8a × 3b) :(9a × 4b) = 2:3 Therefore, profit share of 'Qureshi' = (3/5) × 9,625 = Rs. 5,775
