Question

Ratio of the capitals of three persons is 4:3:5. If the first person's share of profit is Rs. 300, then find the total profit.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial investment ratio =4:5:6

Let the common invested amount be x Rs.

sum invested by A,

⇒4x=48000.

⇒x=12000 Rs.

Thus B invested =5×12000=60000

Thus C invested =6×12000=72000

Ratio in which the profit will be divide,

=48000×12:60000×12:72000×6+36000×6

=8:10:9.

Total profit =60000 Rs

So C's share =

27

9

×60000=20000 Rs.

Answer 2

Answer:

900

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider profit of 1st person to be 4x

then 2nd and 3rd be 3x and 5x

It is given that 4x=300

x=300/4=75

So total profit is 4x+3x+5x

Which will give 12x

putting value of x=75

12×75=900
