let the investment of C in business be Rs Y
As it is mentioned that A and B remain invested for whole year and have contributions Rs 24000 and Rs 28000 respectively. and C joined them only for 8 months in a years so the Profit will divide in ratio = A:B:C = (24000x12) : (28000x12) : (Yx8)
profit at year end = Rs 19950
and C's share = $$\frac{Y}{78000+Y} x 19950= 7600$$
Y = 29718 + 0.381 Y
Y = 48009 ~ Rs 48000
