Answer 1

A and B together start a business by investing in the ratio of 4 : 3. If 9% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs. 1196, find the total profit.

A) Rs.2300

  B) Rs. 4435

C) Rs.2093

  D) Rs.2700

Correct Answer:

A) Rs.2300

Description for Correct answer:
Let total profit = x

Paid to charity = 9% of x = 9x1009x100

Balance profit = x - 9x100=91x1009x100=91x100

A's share = 4(4+3)×91x100=47×91x1004(4+3)×91x100=47×91x100

According to the question,

47×91x100=119647×91x100=1196

x=1196×7×1004×91=Rs.2300x=1196×7×1004×91=Rs.2300

Hence total profit = Rs.2300
