ratio of captial = 3x : 4x : 5x (= 12 x)

Total profit = Rs . 2400

We have divide profit in above ratios.

$profit \: of \: a \: = \frac{3}{12} \times 2400 = 600$

$profit \: of \: b \: = \frac{4}{12} \times 2400 = 800$

$profit \: of \: c \: = \frac{5}{12} \times 2400 = 1000$

Profit of A, B, C is Rs. 600, Rs. 800, Rs. 1000 respectively.
