Question
Three persons start a business and spend Rs. 25,000; Rs. 15,000 atid Rs. 40,000 respectively. Find the share of each out of a profit of Rs. 14,400 in a year
Solution
A’s investment = Rs. 25000
B’s investment = Rs. 15000
C’s investment = Rs. 40000
∴ Ratio between their investment
= 25000 : 15000 : 40000
= 5 : 3 : 8
Sum of ratios = 5 + 3 + 8=16 Total profit = ₹ 14400
∴ A's share = `14400/16 xx 5 = ₹ 4500`
B's share = `14400/16 xx 3` = ₹ 2700
C's share = `14400/16 xx 8` = ₹ 7200
