Question

Two friends invested Rs 40000 and Rs 50000 respectively to start a buisness. They made a contract that they would divide 50% of the profit equally among themselves and the remaining profit in the ratio of their capital's. Let us write the share of profit of the first friend if it is Rs 800 less than that of the 2nd friend.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus total profit=72*20=1440Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Total profit =200 p

Profit 's two shares are 100 p and 100p

Then profit of I friend

=50%  of ( 100p) + I 's capital/Total capital*100p

=100p*50/100 + 40000/90000(100P)

=50p+4/9(100P

Similarly profit of II friend

=50p+50000/90000*(100P)=50p+5/9(100p)

Given that I's profit= II's profit-800

50p+4/9(100P)=50p+5/9(100P)-800

5/9(100P)-4/9(100P)=800

1/9(100)P=800

p=72

Thus total profit=72*20=1440Rs
