Question:

A and started a business investing amounts of ₹92,500 and ₹1,12,500,respectively. If B's share in the profit earned by them is ₹9,000, what is the total profit (in ₹) earned by them together?

Options:

20,000

16,400

19,000

21,240

Correct Answer:

16,400

Explanation:

Let the profit earned by A=  Rs. X

According to the question,

\(\frac{92500}{112500}\) = \(\frac{X}{9000}\) 

 X = \(\frac{92500 × 9000 }{112500}\)

 X =  37 × 200

 X = 7400

So ,  The profit earned by A = Rs. 7400

Total profit = 9000 + 7400 = 16400
