Let investment by A be Rs. N

Then investment by B will be N + 50000 and investment by C will be N + 25000,

Since total investment is Rs. 3 lakhs,

⇒ N + N + 50000 + N + 25000 = 300000

⇒ 3N = 225000

⇒ N = 75000

⇒ Investment by A = 75000

⇒ Investment by B = 125000

⇒ Investment by C = 100000

⇒ Ratio of Investment = 3 : 5 : 4

⇒ Ratio of profit = 3 : 5 : 4

Since Total profit = 14400

∴ Profit received by C = 4/12 × 14400 = 4800
