Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 15,600 Given: Investment of A = Rs. 13,750 Investment of B = Rs. 16,250 Investment of C = Rs. 18,750 B's share in profit = Rs. 5200 Calculation: Ratio of investment A ∶ B ∶ C = 13,750 ∶ 16,250 ∶ 18,750 ⇒ A ∶ B ∶ C = 11 ∶ 13 ∶ 15 Ratio of their profit will be same as ratio of their investment Let profit of A be 11x, B be 13x and C be 15x As, B's share = 5200 ⇒ 13x = 5200 ⇒ x = 5200/13 = 400 Total profit = 11x + 13x + 15x = 39x ⇒ Total profit = Rs. (39 × 400) ⇒ Rs. 15,600 ∴ Total profit is Rs. 15,600 |
