A and B started a business and out of a total profit of Rs.5900, B takes Rs.700 as a bonus and the remaining profit distributed between them according to their investment. If B invested \(\frac{1}{6}\) more than A. Then find the share of B out of the total profit.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total profit = 5900
Extra taken by B =700
Remaining profit = 5900 - 700 = 5200
*If time is same then investment ratio becomes profit ratio*
A : B
Profit: 6 : 7 = 13R
⇒ 13R = 5200
⇒ 1R = 400
B's Profit = 7R = 7 × 400 = 2800
B' s total profit = 2800 + 700 = 3500
