Solution:

Amount invested by A = Rs. 1800 for 12 months
Amount invested by B = Rs. 3600 for 8 months
Amount invested by C = Rs. 1200 for 6 months
⇒ Ratio of profit of A:B:C = (1800 × 12) : (3600 × 8) : (1200 × 6)
= 216 : 288 : 72 = 3 : 4 : 1
Total profit = Rs. 1760
∴ A's share =

3/(3+4+1) ×1760

3 × 220 = Rs. 660
