Question

A invested Rs 25,300 for 7 months, B invested Rs 25,200 for 11 months and C invested Rs 27,500 for 7 months. Find the share of A and C together out of a total profit of Rs 33,600

Answer 1

Ratio of shares of A : B : C is,

$\Rightarrow 25300\times 7:25200\times 11:27500\times 7$

$\Rightarrow 23\times 7:252:25\times 7$

$\Rightarrow 23:36:25$

Total profit is $33,600$ Rs.

Total of profit of A and C is,

$\Rightarrow \frac{23+25}{23+36+25}\times 33600$

$\Rightarrow \frac{48}{84}\times 33600$

$\Rightarrow 19,200$ Rs.

Total profit earned by A and C is $19,200$ Rs.
