Answer:

Question 7.

SECTION – 1

7. Shyam, Gopal, and Madur are three partners in a business. Their capitals are respectively `4000, `8000, and `6000. Shyam gets 20% of total profit for managing the business. The remaining profit is divided among the three in the ratio of their capitals. At the end of the year, the profit of shyam is `2200 less than the sum of the profit of Gopal and Madhur. How much profit, Madhur will get?

A. `1600 B. `2400 C. `3000 D. `5000

Solution:

The ratio of the profits of Shyam, Gopal and Mathur is 2 : 4 : 3. Let the annual profit be `X. Then Shyam will get 0.2X of this and the remaining 0.8X will be distributed in the ratio of their capitals.

Given, 7/9(0.8X) – 2/9(0.8X) – 0.2X = 2200

It implies X = 9000

Hence Mathur's share = 0.8 x 9000/3 = `2400
