Question

In a business A and B invested Rs 5,000 and Rs 6,000 respectively. After 9 months from start of business, C invested Rs 12000 and A and B both withdrew Rs 1,000 each from their investments. If at the end of year B and C together got Rs 12,250 from the total profit, then what is the total profit

Answer 1

Ratio of shares of A : B : C is,

$\Rightarrow 5000\times 9+4000\times 3:6000\times 9+5000\times 3:12000\times 3$

$\Rightarrow 19:23:12$

Let the total profit be $x$ Rs.

thus by given condition,

$\Rightarrow \frac{23+12}{(23+12+19}\times x=12250$

$\Rightarrow \frac{35}{54}\times x=12250$

$\Rightarrow x=18,900$ Rs.

Total profit earned by Them is $18,900$ Rs.
