Question

A,B and C enter into a partnership by investing Rs 28000, Rs 32000 and Rs 18000. A is working partner and gets a fourth of the profit for his services and the remaining profit is divided amongst the three in the ratio of their investments. What is the amount of profit that B gets if A gets a total of Rs 4845?

• A. 3264
• B. 3564
• C. 3864
• D. none

Answer 1

The correct option is A

3264

Let x be the total profit.

So 0.75x should be shared according to investments

So we get $\frac{95}{156}\times x=4845$

$x=51\times 156=7956$

So B's profit will be $\frac{16}{39}\times 7956=3264$
