Let monthly salary of R be Rs. x. 

Total profit = Rs. 240000 

R has invested his money for 8 months. 

∴ Profit to be shared = Rs. (240000 – 8x) 

Ratio of investments by P and V = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 

Ratio of investments by V and R = 6 : 5 

Ratio of investments by P, V and R = 4 : 6 : 5

Profit will be shared in the ratio of (4 × 12) : (6 × 12) : (5 × 8) = 6 : 9 : 5 

V’s share = Rs. 90000 = 9/20 × (240000 – 8x) 

⇒ 240000 – 8x = 200000

⇒ 8x = 40000

⇒ x = Rs. 5000
