answer is option d i hope this will help u

Answer 2

Total profit = ₹ 35,000

Find the amount paid as tax:

Tax = 5% of ₹35,000

Tax = 0.05 x 35000

Tax = ₹ 1750

Find the amount after tax:

Amount after tax = ₹35000 - ₹1750 = ₹33,250

Define x:

Ratio of Aruna : Chitra = 3 : 2

Let x be the constant ratio

Ratio of Aruna : Chitra = 3x : 2x

Solve x:

3x + 2x =  ₹33,250

5x = 33250

x = 331250 ÷ 5

x =  ₹6650

Find Aruna's share:

Aruna's share = 3x = 3(6650) =  ₹19.950

Answer: (d)  ₹19,950
