Question

By investing Rs. 1,12,500 and Rs. 27,500
respectively, A and B started a business on
conditions that as the active partner B gets 20%
bonus and both of them get 4% interest on their
capitals. The remaining amount of the total profit
is to be divided in the ratio of their capitals. IfB
earns Rs. 4,100 as his share of profit at the end
of a year, then find the total amount of profit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the amount invested by A = Rs. x

Now according to the question,

A : B : C

Capital -> x : (x + 15000) : (x + 35000)

∴ x + x + 15000 + x + 35000 = Rs. 125000

3x = 125000 - 50000

3x = 75000

x = Rs. 25000

Amount invested by B = Rs. 40,000

Amount invested by C = Rs. 60,000

A : B : C

Capital -> 25000 : 40,000 : 60,000

Profit -> 5 : 8 : 12

(5 + 8 + 12) units = Rs. 37450

25 units = Rs. 37450

1 unit = Rs. 1498

∴Share of A = 1498×5= Rs.7490

Share of B = 1498×8= Rs.11984

Share of C = 1498×12= Rs.17976
