Question

Anoop, balu and charan are partners and make a profit of rs.4,800/- which is distributed among them in the ratio 6:5:4. The difference of the amounts anoop and charan received is

Answer 1

The total Profit is Rs.4800. The ratio of amount in each of them

Anoop : balu : charan =  6:5:4

So let x be the constant ratio such that amount in Anoop : Balu : Charan = 6x : 5x: 4x

Calculating x

6x + 5x + 4x=4800

15x = 4800

x = 4800/15 = 320

profit, Rs.4,800

Anoop get 6x =6 x 320 = 1920

Balu get 5x = 5 x 320 = 1600

Charan get  4x = 4 x 320 = 1280

The difference of the amounts Anoop and Charan received is =1920 - 1280 =Rs. 640
