Question

Nasruddin and Mahesh invested 40000 and 60000 respectively to start a business They made a profit of 30% how much profit did each of them make ?​​

Answer 1

Total amount invested = Rs 40,000 + Rs 60,000 = Rs 1,00,000 Profit earned = 30% ∴ Total profit = 30% of 1,00,000 = 30/100 × 100000 = Rs 30000 Proportion of investment = 40000 : 60000 = 2:3 …. (Dividing by 20000) Let Nasruddin’s profit be Rs 2x and Mahesh’s profit be Rs 3x. ∴ 2x + 3x = 30000 ∴ 5x = 30000 ∴ x = . 30000/5 ∴ x = 6000 ∴ Nasruddin’s profit = 2x = 2 × 6000 = Rs 12000 Mahesh’s profit = 3x = 3 × 6000 = Rs 18000 ∴ The profits of Nasruddin and Mahesh are Rs 12000 and Rs 18000 respectively.Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/863290/nasruddin-and-mahesh-invested-and-000-respectively-start-business-they-made-profit-30-how?show=863302#a863302
