Given:

A, B, and C invested ₹40000, ₹48000, and ₹80000, respectively

The total profit = ₹ 672000

Calculation:

After six months, for the remaining time of the year, A added ₹4000, B added ₹4000 and C withdrew ₹4000 every month.

So, (4000 × 6) + (4000 × 5) + (4000 × 4) + (4000 × 3) + (4000 × 2) + (4000 × 1) = 4000 × 21 = 84000

A : B : C = [(40000 × 12) + 84000] : [(48000 × 12) + 84000] : [(80000 × 12) - 84000]

= (480000 + 84000) : (576000 + 84000) : (960000 - 84000)

= 564000 : 660000 : 876000

= 564 : 660 : 876

The share of C = [876/(564 + 660 + 876)] × 672000

= (876/2100) × 672000

= 280320

∴ C's share is ₹ 280320
