AI explanation

Agalya's effective capital is 14000 times 3 plus 19000 times 4 plus 25000 times 5, which totals 231000. Bhairavi's share of the profit is Rs. 9720 out of Rs. 31320, making Agalya's share Rs. 21600 and their ratio 21600 to 9720, which is 20 to 9. Since Bhairavi invested for 12 months, her investment multiplied by 12 equals 231000 times 9 divided by 20, resulting in an investment of Rs. 41400.
