Question

In a business,a and c invested amounts in the ratio 2:1, whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3:2. If their total profit is 1,573. How much amount of B will receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

A's share = 726

B's share = 484

C's share = 363

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, A:C = 2:1, A:B = 3:2, and the total profit = 1,573

To find A:B:C, taking LCM of the given two values of A, i.e., of 3 and 2 which is 6

∴ A:C becomes 2*3:1*3 = 6:3

and A:B becomes 3*2:2*2 = 6:4

∴ A:B:C = 6:4:3

Hence, share of A = (1573 * 6)/(6+4+3) = 726

share of B = (1573 * 4)/(6+4+3) = 484

and share of C = (1573 * 3)/(6+4+3) = 363

Answer 2

a/c to question, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1 or, 6 : 3 and A and B invested amounts in the ratio 3 : 2 or, 6 : 4

so, ratio of invested amounts of A , B and C = 6 : 4 : 3

given, their total profit = 1,573 Rs.

so, B will receive = 4/(6 + 4 + 3) × 1, 573

= 4/13 × 1,573

= 4 × 121

= 484 Rs.

hence. 484 amount is received by B
