    Explanation

    Ratio of shares = Ratio of investments Ratio of investment= 12,000 : 15,000 : 18,000 = 12 : 15 : 18 = 4 : 5 : 6 Now A’s share is 3000 Let the total profit be y ∴44+5+6×y=3,000⇒415×y=3,000\begin{array}{l} \therefore \frac{4}{{4 + 5 + 6}} \times y = 3,000\\ \Rightarrow \frac{4}{{15}} \times y = 3,000 \end{array} ⇒y=Rs.11250⇒ y = Rs. 11250
