Question 889888: 3 people invested money in a business at the same time respectively A=2000,B=2500 and C=3400 find the share of each, out of annual profit of Rs. = 1700.
The main problem i am getting in this question is that when i start solving it there comes a part where the ratio is 2000:2500:3400
=20:25:34
Sir after this i don't know how to solve the ratio including 3 parts.i would really appreciate your help.

The 20:25:34 representation is correct. So the first guy has 20 shares, the second guy has 25 shares, and the last guy has 34 shares. Hence there are a total of 20 plus 25 plus 34 equals 79 shares. A gets times 1700, and so on...
