Share is divided in the ratio of capital invested and the number of months for which the investment is made.

Given, A started a business with a capital of Rs. 28000. Five months later ‘B’ joined as a partner with capital of Rs. 36000.

∴ A invested in the company for 12 months while B invested for 7 months.

Ratio of shares of A to B $(= \frac{{28000 \times 12}}{{36000 \times 7}})$

⇒ Ratio of shares of A to B = 4:3

Given, total profit = Rs. 6300

Profit of A $(= \frac{4}{{4 + 3}} \times 6300)$

⇒ Profit of A = Rs. 3600
