AI explanation

Assuming investments of 7x, 8x and 3x for Jiva, Liza and Zinat, their effective capital for the year is 7x * 12 = 84x for Jiva and 8x * 12 = 96x for Liza. Zinat's effective capital is 3x * 6 + 6x * 6 = 54x. The ratio of profit shares is 84:96:54, which simplifies to 14:16:9. Liza's share of the total 8190 profit is (16 / (14 + 16 + 9)) * 8190, resulting in 3360.
