Rs. 80000

Answer»

LET, T’s investment be Rs. x

Profit sharing RATIO between R, S and T at the END of 1st year

⇒ [40000 × 4 + (40000 + x/2) × 8] : [60000 × 12] : [x × 4]

⇒ [480000 + 4x] : 720000 : 4x

S’s share = 720000/(480000 + 4x + 720000 + 4x) × 9200 = 3600

On solving, we get x = Rs. 80000
