Explanation:

Total investment of A and C is 8400 – 2400 = Rs 6000 ……….(1)
So ratio in shares of profit of B : (A+C) is 24 : 60 = 2 : 5
Now profit of B is Rs 3300
So 2/(2+5) *x = 11550
So x = total profit = Rs 11550
So profit of A = (11550 – (3300+3850)) = Rs 4400
Now profit ratio of A : C is 4400 : 3850 = 8 : 7 which is also investment ratio of A and C ………(2)
From (1) and (2), investment 0f C = 7/15 * 6000 = 2800
So required % = (4400-2800)/2800 * 100 = 57%
