Let the total capital be and the total time be .
According to the question:
* Investment of A () = , Time for A () =
* Investment of B () = , Time for B () =
* Investment of C () = Remaining capital =
* Time for C () = Whole time =
The profit is divided in the ratio of the product of capital and time:
To simplify the ratio, multiply by the LCM of 36, 16, and 12, which is 144:
Total units of profit = units
Given total profit = Rs. 1940
Therefore, the share of B =
