The ratio of the time for which they invested is 4 : 2 : 3.
Let these times be
The profit is proportional to the product of the capital invested and the time for which it was invested.
The ratio of their profits (A : B : C) would be,
Let the profits of A, B, and C be
According to the problem, the difference between the profit shares of A and B is Rs. 1,86,000.
Now, C's share of the profit
