Rekha’s investment = Rs. 8000 for 24 months

Maya’s investment = Rs. 6000 for (24 – 8) = 16 months

Hence, at the end of second year,

(Rekha’s share of profit) ? (Maya’s share of profit) = (8000 × 24) ? (6000 × 16)

⇒ 2000 ? (Maya’s share of profit) = 2

⇒ Maya’s share of profit = 2000/2 = Rs. 1000

∴ At the end of second year, Maya received Rs. 1000 as her share of profit
