20%=\(\frac{1}{5}\) 30%= \(\frac{3}{10}\) Ratio of Investment or Profit = A : B : C = 2 : 7 : 19 Total profit = 25000 ⇒ Remaining profit after donation into charitable trust =\(\frac{25000×4}{5}\) = 20000 ⇒ Remaining profit after donation to covid patients =\(\frac{20000×7}{10}\) = 14000 Now, ⇒ 2R + 7R + 19R = 14000 ⇒ 28R = 14000 ⇒ 1R = 500 Therefore, ⇒ C"s profit = 19R = 19 × 500 = 9500 |
