Question

A and B started a business with 1500 and 2500 and got a profit 800 Rs. Half of the profit is shared equally the remaining is shared according to their investment. Find their profits respectively?

Answer 1

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

Ration of A & B investments = 1500 : 2500

= 15 : 25

= 3 : 5

According to the question

Half of the profit is shared equally the remaining is shared according to their investment.

So A’s share of profit =(400/2)+(3/8×400)=200+150

= 350 Rs.

∴ B’s share of Profit (400/2)+(5/8×400)=200+250

= 450 Rs.
