Question

a and b start a business. B received rs. 4320 as his share from the profit earned. The respective ratio between the total investment made by a and b together and the profit earned is 25 : 18. How much did b invest in the business, considering both invested for an equal period of time ?

Answer 1

Solution:-

Let say a invested  Rs 25 A

then B invested = Rs 18 A

Total investment = 25 A + 18 A = 43A

Let say Their Profit are 25AK  & 18AK

18 AK = Rs 4320

1 AK = 4320/18 = 240

=> 25AK = 25 × 240 = 6000

A's Profit = Rs 6000

total profit

=> 6000 + 4320 = Rs 10320

if we assume that investment : profit also equals = 25 : 18

Then B's investment =  (4320/18) × 25 = Rs 6000
