Question

1. Three partners A, B and C invest Rs. 1600, Rs. 1800 and Rs. 2300 respectively in a business. What should be the share of B if the total profit is Rs. 399?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A=112

B=126

c=161

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1600

B=1800

c=2300

ratio=16: 18: 23

A=16(399)/57=112

B=18(399)/57=126

C=23(399)/57=161

Answer 2

Answer:

The share of B in the profit is 126.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

• Investment of A = 1600
• Investment of B = 1800
• Investment of C = 2300

Hence Investment proportion is

                 = 1600 : 1800 : 2300

                 = 16 : 18 : 23

Total proportion is 16+18+23 = 57

Profit amount = Rs. 399

To find :

Share of B in the Profit.

Solution :

Share of B in the profit  =  $\frac{\text{Proportion of B}}{\text{Total Proportion}}\ \text{x} \ \text{Profit Amount}$

                                       = $\frac{18}{57}\ \text{x}\ 399$

                                       = $\frac{18\ \text{x}\ 399}{57}$

                                       = $\frac{7189}{57}$

                                       = 126 Rs.

Hence the share of B in the profit is Rs. 126.
