Solution:

Amount invested by S, T and U = Rs. 4200, Rs. 6300 and Rs. 8400
⇒ Ratio of amount =

S : T : U = 2 : 3 : 4

Also, S invested for 3 months, T for 6 months and U for 12 months
⇒ Ratio of profits of S, T and U =

(2 × 3) + (3 × 6) + (4 × 12)

= 1 : 3 : 8
Total profit = Rs. 6000
∴ U's share =

8/(1+3+8) ×6000

8 × 500 = Rs. 4000
