Question

In a partnership business, ratio of the capitals of
three persons is 3:8: 5. If the first person's share
of profit is Rs. 70 less than the third person's share
of profit, then find the total profit in the business.​

Answer 1

The value of one unit here is 35

So total profit is 3+8+5×35

=16×35

=560

The total profit in the business is of Rs. 560

Answer 2

Answer:- ₹560

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio of the capitals of three persons be 3x, 8x, 5x. Now the first person share of profit is less than the third person. That means, 5x-3x=2x ATP, 2x=70 or x=70/2 or x=35 Now capital of First person=3x, or 3*35=105 capital of Second person =8x, or8*35=280 capital of third person =5x, or5*35=175 Now total profit in business = (280+175+105)=560. Therefore total profit in business is ₹560 (ans).
