Answer 2

Answer:  B's profit is Rs. 4800.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that A and B started a business in which A invested Rs. 15000 and B invested Rs. 20000. They got rs 8400 as profit at the end of one year.

We are to find the profit of B.

We know that

the profit will get divided in the ratio of the investments of A and B.

The ratio of the investments of A and B is give by

$\dfrac{15000}{20000}=\dfrac{3}{4}=3:4.$

Let 3x and 4x represents the profits of A and B respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$3x+4x=8400\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=8400\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{8400}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow x=1200.$

Therefore, B's profit will be

$4\times1200=4800.$

Thus, B's profit is Rs. 4800.
