    Solution :

    Initial investments \[=3x,\]\[5x\]and \[7x\] \[(3x-45600):5x:(7x+337600)=24:59:167\] \[\therefore \]                  \[\frac{3x-45600}{5x}=\frac{24}{59}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                           \[x=47200\] \[\therefore \]Initial investment of \[P=47200\times 3=\] Rs. 141600
