Question

Three partners A, B and C invested their amount in a business. Out of the total annual
profit of the business Rs. 2,40,000 were donated to charity. The remaining amount was
divided among A, B and C in the ratio 3: 2:4. If C's share was Rs. 3,20,000, then what
was the total annual profit?
(a) Rs. 7,20,000
(b)
Rs. 8,60,000
(c)
Rs. 9,60,000
(d)
Rs. 4,80,000​

Answer 1

The amount donated to charity = Rs.2,40,000

Ratio = 3 : 2 : 4

Let the share of A be 3x , share of B be 2x , share of C be 4x

Given C's share = Rs.3,20,000

=> 4x = 3,20,000 => x = 80,000

Then , A's share = 3x = 3(80,000) = Rs.2,40,000

B's share = 2x = 2(80,000) = Rs. 1,60,000

C's share = Rs. 3,20,000

Total profit = amount donated to charity + A's share + B's share + C's share

∴ Total annual profit = Rs.2,40,000+Rs.2,40,000+ Rs.1,60,000 + Rs.3,20,000 = Rs.9,60,000
