Solution

Let's denote the investments of A, B, and C as a, b, and c respectively.

From the problem, we know that:

3a = 2b = 4c

This implies that the investments of A, B, and C are in the ratio 4:6:3.

The problem also tells us that C's share of the total profit is Rs 4863. Since the distribution of profit is directly proportional to the investment, we can say that:

C's share / C's investment = Total profit / Total investment

Substituting the given values, we get:

4863 / 3 = Total profit / 13

Solving for Total profit, we get:

Total profit = 4863 * 13 / 3 = Rs 20841

Now, we can find A's share of the profit by multiplying the total profit by the ratio of A's investment to the total investment:

A's share = Total profit * (A's investment / Total investment)

Substituting the known values, we get:

A's share = 20841 * (4 / 13) = Rs 6412

So, A's share of the profit is Rs 6412.
