Solution:Let the profit share of ‘A’ = Rs. ‘K’
Then, profit share of ‘B’ = Rs. (K + 2900)
We have,
K + K + 2900 = 9700
2K + 2900 = 9700
K = (9700 − 2900) ÷ 2 = 3400
So, Profit shares of ‘A’ and ‘B’ are Rs. 3,400 and Rs. 6,300, respectively
So, ratio of profit shares of ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 3400 : 6300
= 34 : 63
Let the initial investment of ‘A’ = Rs. ‘Y’
Then, initial investment of ‘B’ = Rs. (Y + 200)
Ratio of profit shares of ‘A’ and ‘B’
= (Y × 8) : ((Y + 200) × 12) = 8Y : (12Y + 2400)
= 34 : 63
504Y = 408Y + 81600
So, Y = 81600 ÷ 96 = 850
