Solution:Since C withdraws his capital after 6 months.
Ratio of capital of A, B and C
= 24000 : 18000 : 12000
= 4 : 3 : 2
Ratio of time period of A, B and C (months)
= 12 : 12 : 6 = 2 : 2 : 1
So, the ratio of their profit
= 4 × 2 : 3 × 2 : 2 × 1
⇒ 4 : 3 : 1 = 8 units
Total profit = Rs. 32,800
According to question,
Share of profit received by A as salary
= 37 ½ % of 32,800
⇒ 32800 × 3/8 = Rs. 12,300
Remaining profit to be distributed equally among three
= 32,800 − 12,300 = Rs. 20,500
Now, share of A in the remaining profit
= 20500 × 4/8 = Rs. 10250
The total share of A
= 12,300 + 10,250 = Rs. 22,550
∴ The Total share of A is Rs. 22,550
