Question

Ajay , bhavesh and Chandu enter into a partnership by investing 1500, 2500 and 3000 rupees respectively Ajay As a manager get one tenth of the total profit and the remaining profit is divided among the three in the ratio of their investment .if the total share of ajay's is 369 find the share of Bhavesh and chandu

Answer 1

Ajay invested= Rs 1500
Bhavesh invested = Rs 2500
Chandu invested= Rs 3000
Ratio with respect of their investments
= 3 : 5 : 6
Let the total profit = Rs X
Ajay gets separate 1 / 10 of profit as manager
= 10X / 100
= X / 10
Ajay received share = Rs 369
X / 10 + [ (9X / 10) x 3 / 14] = 369
X / 10 + (27X / 140) = 369
(14X + 27X) / 140 = 369
41X = 369 x 140
X = (369 x 140) / 41
X = 9 x 140
X = 1260
Total profit = Rs 1260
But X / 10 = 1260 / 10
= 126
Ajay received additional share as manager
= Rs 126
Remaining profit to be distributed = 1260 - 126 = Rs 1134
Therefore, Bhavesh received as share from profit = (5 x 1134) / 14
= ( 5 x 162) / 2
= 5 x 81 = Rs 405

Therefore, Chandru received as share from profit = (6 x 1134) / 14
= ( 6 x 162) / 2
= 6 x 81 = Rs 486

Therefore, Ajay got = Rs 369
Bhavesh got = Rs 405
Chandru got = Rs 486

Answer 2

Let total sum be 100

Jay, seema, Nikhil, and Neelesg share is 3x,4x,7xand6x respectively

Total amount of 4 person

=3x+4x+7x+6x=100

⇒20x=100

⇒x=5

Jay actual share =3x

% share of jay is =

20x

3x

×100

=15%

∵ they made a profit of 12%

Nikhail will make a profit of

=(

20

12

×17)%

hence, we get=4.2%
