The total profit was Rs 28000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of money invested by B be Rs x for y months
Thus, his investment would be x*y
According to the question;
A invested Rs 3x for 2y months
His investment would be 3x * 2y
The ratio of the investment of A and B = (3x * 2y) / x*y
= 6xy /xy
= 6 : 1
The profit derived by B was Rs 4000
Hence, the profit derived by A would be 6 times the profit derived by B = 6 x 4000 = Rs 24000
The total profit = Profit of A + Profit of B
= 24000 + 4000
= 28000
Thus, the total profit noted in the firm was Rs 28000.
