Question

Nazir invested 4000 rupees and Narayanan invested 6000 rupees to set up a partnership. In one year, they got 3000 rupees profit. If they split this in the ratio of their investment, how much would Nazir get?

Answer 1

Answer:

1200 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

• Investment by Nazir = 4000 rupees
• Investment by Narayanan = 6000 rupees
• Ratio of investment = 4000/6000= 2/3
• Profit = 3000 rupees

Distribution of profit:

• 2x+3x= 3000
• 5x= 3000
• x= 3000/5
• x= 600

Nazir gets:

• 2x= 2*600 = 1200 rupees

Answer 2

Given: Amount invested by Nazir = Rs. 4,000

           Amount invested by Narayanan = Rs. 6,000

           Profit they earned from their partnership = Rs. 3,000

To find: Share of Nazir if they share the profit in their investment ratio

Solution: According to the given question,

Investment made by Nazir = Rs. 4,000

Investment made by Narayanan = Rs. 6,000

Ratio of their investment = 4,000 : 6,000 = 4 : 6 or 2 : 3

( Understanding the ratio - If total profit is 5 (2 + 3), Nazir will get 2 and Narayanan will get 3 out of it)

Profit earned by them = Rs. 3,000

∵ Nazir's share in the profit based on investment ratio

                                                                  =  $\frac{2}{5} \ * \ 3,000 = Rs. \ 1,200$

Hence, Nazir will get Rs. 1,200.
