A, B, and C invested Rs. 8,000, Rs. 10,000, and Rs. 12,000 respectively in a business. If B's profit share at the end of the year is Rs. 1,500, what is the difference between the profit shares of A and C?

Explanation

The investment ratio of A, B, and C is 8000 : 10000 : 12000, which simplifies to 4 : 5 : 6. Since B's share corresponds to 5 parts and equals Rs. 1,500, each part is Rs. 300. The difference between C's and A's shares is (6 - 4) = 2 parts, so the difference in profit is 2 × Rs. 300 = Rs. 600.
