Question

Q72:- Athar, Azhar and Mazhar started a business in the partnership, share of profit is in the ratio of
2:3:4, if Azhar's share of profit is Rs.450, what is Athar's share?

Answer 1

Answer -:

Rs . 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x .

Athar's Share = 2x

Azhar's Share = 3x

Mazhar's Share = 4x

Total = 2x + 3x + 4x

        = 9x

Therefore replace the value .

9x = 450

Azhar's share = Rs.450

So , x = 150.

3x = 450

$x=\frac{450}{3} = 150$

Then Athar's share is 2x = 2 × 150 = Rs.300.

Answer 2

Given: Athar, Azhar and Mazhar started a business in the partnership, share of profit is in the ratio of 2:3:4. Azhar's share of profit is Rs. 450.

To find: Athar's share of profit

Solution: Ratio of their profits = 2:3:4

Let Athar's share be 2x.

Then, Azhar's share = 3x and Mazhar's share= 4x

But, it is given that Azhar's share of profit is Rs.450.

Therefore,

3x = 450

=> x = 450/3

=> x = 150

Now, using x = 150

Athar's share of profit

= 2x

= 2×150

= 300

Therefore, Athar's share of profit is Rs. 300.
