Ratio of profit of P and Q = 16*2X:24(3Y + 100) = 4X:(9Y + 300) = X:(Y+1700)

4X/(9Y + 300) = X/(Y+1700)

4Y + 6800 = 9Y + 300

5Y = 6500

Y = 1300

Total profit received after 2 years = ₹(7Y/5 - 60) = 7*1300/5 - 60 = ₹1760

Ratio of profit of P and Q = X:3000

Now,

Total profit received by P after 2 years - total profit received by Q after 2 years = ₹160

1760*(3000 - X)/(3000 + X) = 160

(3000 - X)/(3000 + X) = 1/11

33000 - 11X = 3000 + X

12X = 30000

X = 2500

Total profit received by P after 2 years = 1760*2500/(2500 + 3000) = ₹800
