Question

Two friends A and B invest some money in a business in the ratio 13: 12. They make a profit of $ 542600. How much should B receive as profit if the profit is proportional to the investment?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of investment of A and B = 13:12

Total profit gain = 5,42,600

Here,

m=13, n=12, p=5,42,600

So, Profit for B = np/(m+n) !!

= 12x 7542600 /(13+12)

= 12x 7542600 /25

=> 2,60,448
