Solution

total investement = Rs. 30,600

total profit = Rs. 15,000

if the profit is divided equally each person gets RS 7500 each

if A got 200 more implies A just need to get 7300 Rs only (7500-200=7300)

the correct profit % of A = =0.48666666667

so the Investment amount of A = 0.4866666666730600=14892 rs

so Investment amount of B = 30600-14892 = 15708 rs
