A and B invest in a business in the ratio 4 : 5 . They reinvest 30% of the profit in their business and distribute the remaining profit among themselves. If A got the profit of Rs.72,800/-, then find their total profit?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
A : B
Profit : 4 : 5 = 9R
Here,
9R is 70% of the total profit.
A's profit = \(\frac{4}{9}\) x \(\frac{70 }{100}\) x Total Profit = 72,800
⇒ \(\frac{28}{90}\) x Total Profit = 72800
⇒ Total Profit = 2,34,000
