Solution(By Examveda Team)
Ratio of investments of A, B and C = Ratio of their profits$$\eqalign{ & = 337.50:1125:637.50 \cr & = 9:30:17 \cr & \therefore {\text{A's investment}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {14000 \times \frac{9}{{56}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{2250}} \cr & {\text{B's investment}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {14000 \times \frac{{30}}{{56}}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{7500}} \cr & {\text{Hence, required difference}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {7500 - 2250} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs. }}{\text{5250}} \cr} $$
