Explanation

Let the first person's investment be x. Then, the second person's investment is x + 1000, and the third person's investment is x + 2000. The total investment is x + (x + 1000) + (x + 2000) = 9000, which simplifies to 3x + 3000 = 9000, so 3x = 6000 and x = 2000. Therefore, their investments are 2000, 3000, and 4000 respectively, giving a ratio of 2:3:4. The total profit of Rs. 5400 is divided in this ratio, so the third person's share is (4/9) × 5400 = Rs. 2400.
