Question

Jaya, Seema, Nikhil, and Neelesh put in altogether $360000$ rupees to form a partnership, with their investments being in the proportion $3:4:7:6.$ What was Jaya's actual share in the capital? made a profit of $12\%$. How much profit did Nikhil make?

Answer 1

Let jaya's contribution be $3x$

Seema's be $4x$

Nikhil's be $7x$

Neelesh's be $6x$

$\therefore 3x+4x+7x+6x=360000$

$20x=360000$

$x=1800$

Jaya's contribution $=3\times x=3\times 1800$

$=5400Rs.$

Profit % $=12$ %

P $=\frac{12}{100}\times 360000$

Profit $=43200$ Rs.

Let their proit be $3y,4y,7y,6y$

$3y+4y+6y+7y=43200$

$y=2160$

Nikhil's profit $=7y$

$=7\times 2160$

$=15120Rs.$
