Question

Jaya, Seema, Nikhil and Neelesg put in together to form a partnership, with their inverstments being in the proportion $3:4:7:6$. What was jays's actual share in the capital? They made a profit of $12\%$. How many profit did Nikhil make?

Answer 1

Let total sum be $100$

Jay, seema, Nikhil, and Neelesg share is $3x,4x,7xand6x$ respectively

Total amount of $4$ person

$=3x+4x+7x+6x=100$

$\Rightarrow 20x=100$

$\Rightarrow x=5$

Jay actual share $=3x$

$\%$ share of jay is $=\frac{3x}{20x}\times 100$

$=15\%$

$\because$ they made a profit of $12\%$

Nikhail will make a profit of

$=\left(\frac{12}{20}\times 17\right)\%$

hence, we get$=4.2\%$
