Answer 2

Concept:

For businesses, profit is that the positive gain remaining in spite of everything costs, taxes, and expenses are deducted from total sales.

Given:

We are given Amit and Vikas started a business investing within the ratio of $5:6$ and Navu joined them after six months investing an amount adequate to that of Amit's and within the end of year $25\%$ profit was earned which was

equal to $Rs. 900$.

Find:

We have to seek out the number recieved by Vikas.

Solution:

Let us assume the whole profit are going to be $x.$

So, $25\%$ of $x=900$

Now, we'll find the worth of $x,$ we get

$\begin{aligned}\frac{25}{100}x&=900\\ x&=\frac{900\times 100}{25}\\ &=3600\end$

Further, we'll find the share of amit, we get

$5x\times 12=60x$

and share of vikas is $6x\times 12=72x$

and the share of navu is $6x\times 6=36x$

Further, we'll combine all the shares and again find the worth of $x,$ we get

$\begin{aligned}60x+72x+36x&=3600\times 12\\ 136x&=43200\\ x&=\frac{43200}{136}\\ x&=317.64\end$

Now, we'll find the number recieved by Vikas, we get

$6\times 317.6=1905.88$

Hence, the number received by Vikas is approx $1900.$ So, option A is correct.
