Solution

Since the overall profit is 50%, each one will get 50% profit on their investment
So,
Profit of Saritaben $= 50 % of 2400 = \frac{50}{100} \times 2400 = ₹ 1200$
Profit of Ayesha $= 50 % of 5200 = \frac{50}{100} \times 5200 = ₹ 2600$
Profit of Meenakshi $= 50 % of 3400 = \frac{50}{100} \times 3400 = ₹ 1700$
Now, according to question
If they add their profit to the capital, their further investments will be :
Saritaben’s capital = 2400 + 1200 = ₹3600
Ayesha’s capital = 5200 + 2600 = ₹ 7800
Meenakshi’s capital = 3400 + 1700 = ₹ 5100
