Question

A and B invested rupees 2100 and rupees 2800 respectively and started a business they made a profit of rupees 3500 how should it be shared?​

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Let us find out the proportion of investments.

2100: 2800 = 2100/2800=3/4 = 3:4

∴ The proportion of investments is 3: 4.

The profit must also be shared in the same proportion.

Let Jhelum’s profit be 3x and that of Atharva, 4x. Then,

3x + 4x = 3500 as total profit is 3500.

∴ 7x = 3500

∴ x = 500

Jhelum’s share = 3x = 1500 rupees and Atharva’s share = 4x = 2000 rupees.
