Answer:-

Explanation:-
Solution:
Let the total investment be Rs. z
Then,
20
%
of
z
=
98000
⇔
z
=
(
98000
×
100
202
)
⇔
z
=
490000
20
%
of
z
=
98000
⇔
z
=
(
98000
×
100
202
)
⇔
z
=
490000
Let the capital of P, Q and R be
Rs. 5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 6x respectively
Then,

⇔
x
=
(

⇔
x
=

∴
R's investment
=
Rs

x
=

(

=
Rs

⇔

⇔
x
=
(

∴
R's investment

Explanation:-
Solution:
Clearly, A invested his capital for 12 months
while each one of B and C invested his capital for (12 - x) months
Ratio of profits os A, B, C
=
(

But ratio of profits

But ratio of profits
=
20

∴
60

So,
