Solution:Let the total investment be x,
The ratio of profit of Shankar, Kavi and Silambu,
⇒ [(1/3)x × (3/4)×12] : [(2/5)x × (1/4)×12] : [(4/15)x × 4]
⇒ 3x : (6/5)x : (16/15)x
⇒ (9/4) : (6/5) : (21/20)
=> 45 : 18 : 16
Total profit = Rs. 23700
79's = 23700
1's = 300
The share of Kavi = 18's = 300 × 18 = Rs. 5400
