Answer 1

Answer:

1) Rs 3600

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that the total amount of money put into the business is Rs 10000+ Rs 8000 = Rs 18000.

Since we know that the total money invested is Rs 18000, we can say that profit : 20/100 *18000. (profit is 20 percent)

= 1/5 *18000

when we divide 18000 by 5, we get Rs 3600.

hence, profit earned is 1)Rs 3600
