Question

A B C invest 1600,1800 , and 2300 respectively how should they divide their profit of rs 1938

Answer 1

Take the three numbers in a ratio:  1600 : 1800 : 2300

Reduce it to lowest terms:   16 : 18 : 23 

Add the three: 16+18+23 = 57

Now do it like this:        One No of Ratio /  Sum of Ratios  *  Profit

          16/57 * 1938 which will come out to be  Rs. 544

          18/57 * 1938 which will come out to be Rs. 612

           23/57 * 1938 which will come out to be Rs. 782
