in the ratio of 1.25: 1. If the difference between the
shares of Anupam and Shivam is 8340, what is
Harshit share?​

Answer 1

Harshit's share is Rs.139oo

Answer 2

Answer:

13900

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Shivam received 1/10  of the profit,

So, the ratio of profit of Sivam and combined profit of Harshit and Anupam = 1 : 9,

Let the profit of shivam = x, combined profit of Harshit and Anupam = 9x,

Where, x is any number,

Now, the ratio of profit of Harshit and Anupam = 1.25 : 1,

Let the profit of Harshit = 1.25y and the profit of Anupam = y,

Where, y is any number,

⇒ 1.25y + y = 9x

⇒ 2.25y = 9x

⇒ y = 4x,

Hence, Harshit's profit = 5x, Anupam's profit = 4x,

According to the question,

4x - x = 8340

3x = 8340

x = 2780,

Hence, Harshit's profit or his share in profit = 5(2780) = 13900
