Hint:

Normally the profit of $C$ would have $$P_c=36000\cdot\frac{75}{100}\cdot\dfrac7{4+5+7}$$

So with change of contract, $C$ will sacrifice $\dfrac{P_c}2$

Its not clear from the question, in what ratio $\dfrac{P_c}2$ will be divided between $A,B?$

Will be it be $1:1$ or in their ratio of investment $4:5$
