Solution:Let the amount invested by ‘A’ and ‘B’, in 2018, be
Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x, respectively.
Additional investment by ‘A’ in 2019 = 2x × 0.5
= Rs. ‘x’
So, total investment made by ‘A’ in 2019 = 2x + x
= Rs. 3x
And, amount invested by ‘D’ = 8000 × 2.5
= Rs. 20,000
Amount invested by ‘E’ in 2020 = 2x + 3x
= Rs. 5x
Investment of ‘B’ in 2020 = 3x × 1.2
= Rs. 3.6x
Investment of ‘C’ in 2020 = 8000 × 1.25
= Rs. 10,000
Investment of ‘B’ in 2021 = Rs. (3.6x + 4000)
Investment of ‘C’ in 2021 = 10000 − 1000
= Rs. 9,000
So, ratio of profit shares of 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' and 'E' at the end of 2021 =
{(2x + 3x × 3)} : {3x × 2 + 3.6x + 3.6x + 4000} : {8000 × 2 + 10000 + 9000} : {20000 × 3} : {5x × 2}
= (11x) : (13.2x + 4000) : 35000 : 60000 : (10x)
ATQ:
{60000/(10x)} = (12/10)
So, x = 5000
So, initial investment made by 'A' = 2 X 5000
= Rs. 10,000
Initial investment made by 'B' = 3 X 5000
= Rs. 15,000
And, amount invested by 'E' = 10000 + 15000
= Rs. 25,000
Let the total profit earned from the business be Rs. '100x'
So, salary of 'A' = 100x × 0.05 = Rs. '5x'
Remaining profit = 100x − 5x = Rs. '95x'
Profit share of 'A' = 95x × (11/54)
= Rs. (1045x/54)
Total amount received by 'A' = 5x + (1045x/54)
= Rs. {(1315x)/54}
Profit share of 'C' = 95x × (7/54) = Rs. (665x/54)
ATQ
(1315x/54) − (665x/54) = 123500
650x = 123500 × 54
x = 10260
Total profit earned from the business = 100 × 10260 = Rs. 10,26,000
So, profit share of 'D' = 1026000 × 0.95 × (12/54)
= Rs. 2,16,600
