Question

d. B invests twice as much as c and a invests twice as much as

b. Find b's share of the annual profit of 1250?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 333.33

Explanation:

Let d invests Rs x amount.

According to the problem, c invests Rs 2x, b invests Rs 4x and A invests Rs 8x.

In total, A,b,c and d invests Rs 3000.

Therefore, x+2x+4x+8x = 3000

               => 15x = 3000

               => x = 200

So, b invests = Rs 4x = Rs 4*200 = Rs 800.

The ratio in which b invests = 800:3000 = 4:15

Annual profit = Rs 1250

b's share from annual profit = 4:15 of Rs 1250

                                              = Rs (4/15)*1250

                                              = Rs 333.33
