65000 71000 73000 79000 |
73000 |
Let total investment = 6 33\(\frac{1}{3}\)% = \(\frac{1}{3}\) A invests = 6 × \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 2 25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\) B invests = (6-2)\(\frac{1}{4}\) = 1 C invests = 6 - (2 + 1) = 3 A : B : C Inv. : 2 : 1 : 3 Profit: 2 : 1 : 3 = 6R *If time is same then investment ratio becomes profit ratio* ATQ, 6R = 219000 A's profit = 2R = \(\frac{219000}{6}\) × 2 = 73000 |
