If
A invests = x
B invests = x + 300
C invests = 3(x + 300) = 3x + 900
Total investment = x + (x + 300) + (3x + 900) = 5x + 1200
B’s share = (x + 300) / (5x + 1200) x 2250 = 500
x + 300 = 500/2250 (5x + 1200)
x + 300 = 10/9x + 800/3
x - 10/9x = 800/3 – 300
-x/9 = -100/3
x = 300
A invested Rs. 300

x + 300 =
500/2250 (5x + 1200)
x + 300 = 10/9x
+ 800/3
x - 10/9x = 800/3 – 300
-x/9 =
-100/3
x = 300
