A, B and C started a business investing amounts of Rs. 13,750, Rs. 16,250 and Rs. 18,750 respectively.
Concept Used:
In the partnership business profit is distributed in the ratio of their Investment.

Ratio of investment of A, B and C is 13750 : 16250 : 18750
⇒ 11 : 13 : 15
B's share is 13 units → 5200
⇒ 1 unit → 400
Difference in the profit earned by A and C is (15 - 11) = 4 unit
1 unit → Rs. 400
