Jamal contributed +4%2A1000+=+4000+
Faraz contributed +6%2A2000+=+12000+
------------------------------------
The total contribution = +4000+%2B+12000+=+16000+
Jamal's fraction of contributions is:
+4000%2F16000+=+1%2F4+
Faraz's fraction of contributions is:
+12000%2F16000+=+3%2F4+
--------------------------------
+%281%2F4%29%2A1200+=+300+
+%283%2F4%29%2A1200+=+900+
------------------------
Jamal gets Rs 300
Faraz gets Rs 900
