Answer 2

Answer:

The total profit of the business is Rs. $192.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of capital of the three partners is $3:5:8$, profit is also shared in that ratio.

So we can write,

profit of first partner is equal to $3x$

profit of second partner is equal to $5x$, and

profit of third partner is equal to $8x$.

It is given that profit of first member is Rs. $60$ less than the profit of the third member.

That is mathematically saying, $8x-3x=60$

                                        ⇒          

                                                    $5x=60\\\\x=60/5=12$ .

Therefore  the total profit $=3x+5x+8x=16x=16*12=192$ rupees.

Hence the answer.

thank you
