Question

A and B started a business jointly. A's investment was thrice the investment of B and the period of his investment was two times the period of investment of B. If B received Rs. 4,000 as profit, then their total profit is

• A. Rs.16,000
• B. Rs.20,000
• C. Rs.24,000
• D. Rs.28,000

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs.28,000

Let B invest x Rs. for y months

Then A invest 3x for 2y months

So $A:B=(3x\times 2y):(x\times y)=6xy:xy=6:1$

B's profit :total profit=1:7

Let the total profit=x

Then,$\frac{1}{7}=\frac{4000}{x}$

$x=28000$
