Question

Suresh and Ramesh together invested 144000 rupees in the ratio 4:5 and bought a plot of land.after some years they sold it at a profit of 20%. What is the profit each of them got?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price of the plot of land =144000

Profit percent on sale =20%

Total profit on sale of plot of land in rupees = (144000×20)/100

=Rs.28800

So, they both sold the plot of land at a profit of Rs.28800

Profit sharing ratio of Suresh and Ramesh =4:5

Sum of ratios =4+5=9

Suresh's share in profit = (4×28800)/9

=115200/9

=Rs.12800

Ramesh's share in profit = (5×28800)/9

= 144000/9

=Rs.16000

Answer 2

Answer:

let the common multiple be x

4x+5x=144000

9x=144000

x=144000/9

x=16000

therefore

suresh investment is 4x=4×16000=64000

ramesh investment is 5x=5×16000=80000

profit

144000×20/100=28800

selling prize

144000+28800=172800
