AI explanation

Amir's capital multiple is (196000 x 5) plus (230000 x 7) = 2560000, while Salman's capital multiple for 5 months is 245000 x 5 = 1225000, yielding an investment ratio of 2048:980. Salman also receives a working salary of 80000 x 5 = 400000, leaving a divisible profit of 1485000. Salman's profit share is 980 divided by 3028 of 1485000, which equals approximately Rs. 476835; adding his salary gives him a total of Rs. 876835.
