A and B started a business and out of a total profit of Rs.9000, B takes Rs.500 as a bonus and the remaining profit distributed between them according to their investment. If B invested \(\frac{1}{7}\) more than A. Then find the share of B out of the total profit. |
3800 6300 5300 4800 |
5300 |
Total profit = 9000 Extra taken by B = 500 Remaining profit = 9000 - 500 = 8500 *If time is same then investment ratio becomes profit ratio* A : B Profit: 7 : 8 = 15R ⇒ 15R = 9000 ⇒ 1R = 600 B's Profit = 8R = 8 × 600 = 4800 B' s total profit = 4800 + 500 = 5300 |
