Answer 1

The profit earned by Padhu is Rs. 600.

Given:

Thiru & Padhu invested in a business in the ratio of 9:5 and

After a year Thiru got Rs 480 more than Padhu as a profit.  

To find:

The profit earned by Padhu

Solution:

Given the ratio of investment = 9: 5

As we know the Ratio of profit = I₁ × T₁ : I₂ × T₂  

Here the profit got after 1 year, so consider the time period of investment as one year  

The ratio of Thiru & Padhu = 9 × 1 : 5 × 1 = 9: 5

Thus the Profit can be shared in 9: 5 ratio

Let 9x and 5x be the profits of Thiru and Padhu  

Given that Thiru got Rs 480 more than padhu as a profit.

=> 9x = 5x + 480

=> 9x - 5x = 480

=> 4x = 480

=>  x = 120

Therefore,

Profit earned by Padhu, 5x = 5(120) = 600

Therefore,

The profit earned by Padhu is Rs. 600.

Answer 2

Answer: Padhu earned a profit of 600 Rs. after a year.

Given: Thiru & Padhu invested in a business in the ratio 9:5, Thiru got Rs 480 more than padhu as a profit.

To Find: Profit earned by padhu.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Let the investment of Thiru is $9x$ and Padhu is $5x$.

Step 2: Their profit is to be in same ratio as their investment for same period of time. Thus if we take Thiru's profit as $P_{Thiru}$ and Padhu's profit as $P_{Padhu}$. Then

$P_{Thiru} =P_{Padhu} +480$ ......eq(1) and

$P_{Thiru} :P_{Padhu} =9:5$ ......eq(2)

Step 3: From equation (2)

$P_{Thiru} = \frac{9}{5} P_{Padhu}$

Put the above value in equation(1), we get,

$\frac{9}{5} P_{Padhu} =P_{Padhu} +480$

$P_{Padhu} =480\times \frac{5}{4} =600$

So, we can say that Padhu earn a profit of 600 Rs.
