Question:

A and B start a business . A invests 40% of the total and B invests the remaining. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs.17500, then find the share of B.

Options:

9500

10500

10000

8700

Correct Answer:

10500

Explanation:

40% = \(\frac{2}{5}\)

              A   :     B

Inv.    :   2   :     3

Profit :    2   :     3        = 5R

*If time is same then investment ratio becomes profit ratio*

ATQ,

⇒ 5R = 17500

⇒ 1R = 3500

B's profit = 3R = 3 × 3500 = 10500
