Given:

Total profit = Rs. 147000

Investment ratio = A : B : C = 12 : 5 : 10

C withdraws half of his capital after 6 months.

Formula Used:

Profit share = Investment × Time

Calculation:

C's investment for the first 6 months = 10 (full capital).

C's investment for the next 6 months = 10/2 = 5 (half capital).

Total weighted investment for C = (10 × 6) + (5 × 6)

⇒ Total weighted investment for C = 60 + 30 = 90

Total weighted investment for A = 12 × 12 = 144

Total weighted investment for B = 5 × 12 = 60

Total weighted investment for A, B, and C = 144 + 60 + 90 = 294

C's share of profit = (C's weighted investment / Total weighted investment) × Total profit

⇒ C's share of profit = (90 / 294) × 147000

⇒ C's share of profit = (90 × 147000) / 294

⇒ C's share of profit = 13230000 / 294

⇒ C's share of profit = Rs. 45000

Therefore, the profit earned by C is Rs. 45000.
