c) 1,200
a) 800
d) 1.000​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the profit of the business = x.

B receives 1x 80and the remaining 910x is shared in the ratio of their investments (B : A) = 40000 : 50000 = 4 : 5

B's share = 44+5×910x=25x

and A's share = 54+5×910x=12x

Therefore, B's total share of the profit = 110x+25x=12x=Rs.5000 (Given)

or A's share = Rs.5000
