Step-by-step explanation:
Solution: Let us find out the proportion of the investments.
2100:2800 = 2100
2800 =
3
4 = 3:4. ∴ Proportion of investments is 3:4.
The profit must also be shared in the same proportion.
Let Jhelum’s profit be 3x and that of Atharva, 4x. Then,
3x + 4x = 3500 as total profit is 3500.
∴ 7x = 3500 ∴ x = 500
Jhelum’s share = 3x = 1500 rupees and Atharva’s share = 4x = 2000 rupees
