A, B and C started a business investing amounts of ₹ 13,750, ₹ 16,250 and ₹ 18,750, respectively. If B’s share in the profit earned by them is ₹ 5,200, what is the difference in the profit (in ₹) earned by A and C?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Ratio of investment of A, B and C is 13750 : 16250 : 18750
⇒ 11 : 13 : 15
B's share is 13 units = 5200
⇒ 1 unit = 400
Difference in the profit earned by A and C is (15 - 11) = 4 unit
1 unit = Rs. 400
⇒ 4 unit = Rs. 400 × 4 = Rs. 1600
