180000+165000+125000=470000=total investment
First partner invested (180000/470000)(100%)=38.3%
Second partner invested (165000/470000)(100%)=35.1%
Third partner invested (125000/470000)(100%)=26.6%
Third partners profit=4625 from 26.6%, 4625/0.266=17387=Total profit
ANSWER a):
Total profit=Rs.17387
ANSWER b):
Profit of first partner=(0.383)(Rs.17387)=Rs.6659.22
Profit of second partner=(0.351)(Rs.17387)=Rs.6102.84
