Question

Raj and ali invest in a business in the ratio 3:2. they give away 20% of their profit to charity and share the remaining profit in the same ratio as their investment. of raj gets rs. 2400, what is the total profit

Answer 1

As raj get 2400 of the divisible profit for 3/5th share
Then the divisible profit would be 2400×5/3=4000
And the divisible profit is 80% as it is after deduction of 20% of the net profit so the net profit would be
4000×100÷80=5000

Answer 2

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share = (95*3/5) = Rs. 57.

If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.

If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit = (100/57*855) = 1500.
