Question

Mathem
A and B started a business with a capital of Rs.
3000 and Rs. 4500 respectively. After 8 months
A invested further Rs. 2500 and the net profit
calculated after 7 month of it was Rs. 520. The
amount profit B earned:
(a) Rs. 250 (b) Rs.260 (c) Rs. 270 (d) Rs.280​

Answer 1

Profit = Investment × time

profit of A is = 3000×8+5500×7=62500

(since A invested 3000 for 8months and further 3000+2500 for next 7 months)

profit of B =4500×15=67500

(profit of A)/(profit of B)=62500/67500=25/27

Total profit given is 520

B's share of profit =(27/52)×520=270/-
