Answer»

X invested Rs. 12000 for 4 months

⇒ X’s TOTAL capital investment = 12000 × 4 = 48000

Y invested Rs. 9000 for 12 months

⇒ Y’s total capital investment = 9000 × 12 = 108000

Z invested Rs. 18000 for 12 - 4 = 8 months

⇒ Z’s total capital investment = 18000 × 8 = 144000

? Ratio of profit SHARE = Ratio of total capital investment

⇒ Ratio of profit share = 48000 ? 108000 ? 144000 = 4 ? 9 ? 12

Sum of ratios = 4 + 9 + 12 = 25

Now, total profit = Rs. 12500

∴ Z’s profit share = 12/25 × 12500 = Rs. 6000
