Solution

Profit should be proportional to investment.
Ratio of profit = ratio of investment
Profit ratio of A:B:C = 1500:1200:1800 =5:4:6
so, total profit is 5+4+6 = 15 parts i.e. equal to ₹900
Profit of A $= (\frac{5}{15}) \times 900 = ₹ 300$
Profit of B $= (\frac{4}{15}) \times 900 = ₹ 240$
Profit of C $= (\frac{6}{15}) \times 900 = ₹ 360$
