A, B, and C started a business by investing a sum of money in which A invested 25% of the total, B invested 30% of the remaining and C invested the remaining. Find the ratio of profit at the end of the year. |
5 : 2 : 6 10 : 9 : 23 10 : 9 : 21 10 : 7 : 25 |
10 : 9 : 21 |
25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\) 30% =\(\frac{3}{10}\) Let total investment is = 40 (LCM of the denominators 4 and 10) ATQ, Investment: A = 40× 25% = 10 Remaining = 40 - 10 = 30 B = 30 × 30% = 9 Remaining = 30 - 9 = 21 C = 21 *Profit ratio = Investment ratio (if time of investment is same for all) Therefore, Profit Ratio = 10 : 9 : 21 |
