Question:

A and B invested their money in a business in the ratio of 9 : 5. If 10% of the total profit goes for charity and A’s share is Rs.29,840, what is the total profit (in Rs., to the nearest integer)?

Options:

Rs.51,745

Rs.55,715

Rs.57,545

Rs.51,575

Correct Answer:

Rs.51,575

Explanation:

A : B = 9 : 5

Total = 9 + 5 = 14

New part of A =  \(\frac{9 × 90}{100}\)  = 8.1 = 29,840 (Given)

    Total profit = 14 =  \(\frac{29840}{8.1}\) × 14 = Rs.51,575
