8. Three friends invested 12000, 315000 and 110000 respectively to purchase a bus. The first
person is a driver and the other two are conductors. They decided to divide ŝ th of the profit
among themselves in the ratio of 3:2:2 according to their work and the remaining in the ratio
of their capitals. If they earn 29260 in one month, let us find the share of each of them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Capital ratio of A, B, C is 12000 : 15000 : 18000 = 4 : 5 : 6

Profit ratio of B and C = 8500 : 10200 = 5 : 6

∴ A’s share of profit =4/5× Rs. 8500 = Rs. 6800

85% of x = 6800 + 8500 + 10200

= 25500

∴ 15% of x=(25500 × 15)/85=4500

Total profit of A = Rs. 6800 + Rs. 4500 = Rs. 11300.
