If the total investment of A and B for the same time period is Rs.32000 and the profit received by A is Rs.800 out of a total profit of Rs.1600, find the investment of A.

• A. Rs.15000
• B. Rs.16000
• C. Rs.17000
• D. Rs.18000
• E. Rs.19000

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs.16000

Let the investment of A = Rs. x

Profit earned by A =$\frac{x}{32000}\times 1600$

$\frac{x}{32000}\times 1600=800$

$x=Rs.16000$
