Solution:

(3) Ratio of investment of A, B and C = Ratio of profit of A, B and C =

9/10:1/20:1/20

= 1 8 : 1 : 1
Also, given that A’s income is increased by ₹ 270, when the profits rises 3% (from 12% to 15%)
∴ Investment of A =

270/3

x 100 = ₹ 9000
If investment of A, B and C, 18x, x and x, then
