Solution:Let total time for which ‘A’ and ‘B’ made their investment be ‘t’ months.
Let initial investment made by ‘A’ and ‘B’ be Rs. ‘x’ and Rs. ‘y’, respectively.
So, initial investment made by ‘C’
= Rs. (6000 − x − y)
Total investment made by ‘A’
= x × 6 + (x + 800) × 8 + (x + 800 − 200) × (t − 14)
= Rs. (xt + 600t − 2000)
Total investment made by ‘B’
= y × 14 + (y − 200) × (t − 14)
= Rs. (yt − 200t + 2800)
Total investment made by ‘C’
= (6000 − x − y) × 6 + (6000 − x − y + 1000) × 8
= Rs. (92000 − 14x − 14y)
And, y + 400 = 6000 − x − y
So, 2y = 5600 − x
Or, x = 5600 − 2y ............ (1)
And, t = 8 + 6 + 4 = 18
So, ratio of profit share of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, respectively
= [(5600 − 2y) × 18 + 600 × 18 − 2000] : [y × 18 − 200 × 18 + 2800] : [92000 − 14x (5600 − 2y) − 14y]
So, [(y × 18 − 200 × 18 + 2800)] : [92000 − 14x (5600 − 2y) − 14y] = 7 : 9
Solving above equation, we get
y = 1600
So, x = 5600 − 2 × 1600 = 2400
So, ratio of profit shares of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, respectively
= 52000 : 28000 : 36000 = 13 : 7 : 9
Initial investment made by ‘C’ = Rs. 2000
