Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the ratio of their investments.

  1. For the first 4 months, A invested Rs. 90,000 and B invested Rs. 1,20,000. So, the ratio of their investments for the first 4 months is 90,000:1,20,000 = 3:4.

  2. After 4 months, A invested an additional Rs. 10,000, making his total investment Rs. 1,00,000. B's investment remained the same. So, for the next 2 months, the ratio of their investments is 1,00,000:1,20,000 = 5:6.

  3. After 2 more months, B withdrew Rs. 20,000, making his total investment Rs. 1,00,000. So, for the remaining time, the ratio of their investments is 1,00,000:1,00,000 = 1:1.

  4. To find the total ratio of their investments, we need to multiply the ratio of their investments by the time period for which they invested. For A, this is (34) + (52) + (16) = 12 + 10 + 6 = 28. For B, this is (44) + (62) + (16) = 16 + 12 + 6 = 34.

  5. So, the total ratio of their investments is 28:34 = 14:17.

  6. The total profit is Rs. 1,86,000. To find the profit earned by A, we multiply the total profit by A's share of the investment. This is (14/31)*1,86,000 = Rs. 84,000.

  7. Similarly, to find the profit earned by B, we multiply the total profit by B's share of the investment. This is (17/31)*1,86,000 = Rs. 1,02,000.

  8. The difference in the profit earned by them is Rs. 1,02,000 - Rs. 84,000 = Rs. 18,000.
