P invested Rs.6,000
After 6 months Q invested Rs.14,000
After 1 year R invested Rs.12,000
Formula Used:
Individual Share=Total InvestmentIndividual Investment×Total Profit
Solution:
Let's calculate the investment of each person in terms of months:
P: Invested Rs.6000 for 24 months, equivalent to
6000×24=144000
Q: Invested Rs.14000 for 18 months, equivalent to
14000×18=252000
R: Invested Rs.12000 for 12 months, equivalent to
12000×12=144000
Total investment in terms of months:
144000+252000+144000=540000For P's share of the profit:
P’s share=(Total investmentP’s investment)×Total profit
=(540000144000)×45000
=Rs.12,000
