Question

P and Q invest in a business in the ratio of 7:3. If 15% of the total profit goes to charity and P's share is Rs. 1190, the total profit is -

• A. Rs.1500
• B. Rs.2000
• C. Rs.1800
• D. Rs.1900
• E. Rs.16000

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs.2000

Let the total profit be $x$

Profit earned by P = $\frac{7}{10}\times 0.85x$

$\frac{7}{10}\times 0.85x=Rs.1190$

$x=Rs.2000$
