1. A, B and C started a business investing amounts in the ratio of 5 : 6 : 8 respectively. After one year, C withdrew 50% of the amount and A invested an additional amount of 60% of the original amount invested by him. In what ratio, the profit earned at the end of 2 years should be distributed among A, B and C respectively ?

Solution:
Let the initial investments of A, B and C be Rs. 5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 8x respectively
Then, A : B : C
[5x × 12 + (160% of 5x) × 12] : (6x × 24) : (8x × 12 + 4x × 12)
= 156x : 144x : 144x
= 13 : 12 : 12
