₹3500, ₹5600, ₹8400

               Prakash      :      Mehul        :                Alok

Capital:        x            :   15000 + x    :     20000 + 15000 + x

                    x            :   15000 + x    :            35000 + x

ATQ,

⇒ x + 15000 + x + 35000 + x = 1,25,000

⇒ 3x + 50000 = 1,25,000

⇒ x = 25000

 Therefore,

               Prakash     :     Mehul    :      Alok

Capital:    25000      :     40000    :    60000

                    5          :         8        :        12

Profit   :       5          :         8        :         12   = 25R

*If time is same then investment ratio becomes profit ratio*

Here,

Total Profit = 25R =  17500

1R = 700

Profit are ⇒  3500, 5600, 8400
