Question

Monika, Nikita and Rohan invested Rs 50, Rs 20 and Rs 60 respectively in a business and earned a profit of Rs 40. What was the ratio in which they shared the profit?

• A. 5 : 2 : 3
• B. 5 : 2 : 6
• C. 5 : 3 : 6
• D. 6 : 5 : 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5 : 2 : 6

Given:
Investment by Monika = Rs 50
Investment by Nikita = Rs 20
Investment by Rohan = Rs 60

Ratio of investment = 50 : 20 : 60 = 5 : 2 : 6.
The ratio of profit sharing will be the same as the ratio of investment.
$\therefore$ Ratio in which the profit is shared =
5 : 2 : 6.
