A invested 331/3% of the total capital
B invested 331/3% of the remaining capital
C invested the remaining
Total profit = ₹4,050
Formula used:
Profit share ratio is proportional to the investment ratio
Calculation:
Let the total capital be ₹100
A's investment = 331/3% of ₹100 = ₹331/3
Remaining capital = ₹100 - ₹331/3 = ₹662/3
B's investment = 331/3% of ₹662/3 = ₹222/9
Remaining capital for C = ₹662/3 - ₹222/9 = ₹444/9
Investment ratio of A:B:C = ₹331/3 : ₹222/9 : ₹444/9
Convert to a common base:
A:B:C = 100/3 : 200/9 : 400/9
Converting to a common ratio:
A:B:C = 300:200:400
Total ratio = 300 + 200 + 400 = 900
Profit share of B = (200/900) × 4050 = ₹900
Profit share of C = (400/900) × 4050 = ₹1800
Difference in profit = ₹1800 - ₹900 = ₹900
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
