Question

P and Q invested Rs. 6000 and Rs. 8000 in a business. P receives Rs.12.5 per month out of the profit as remuneration for running the business and the rest of profit is divided in proportion to the investments. If in a year P totally receives Rs.780, what does Q receive?

• A. Rs.340
• B. Rs.360
• C. Rs.320
• D. Rs.310
• E. Rs.370

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs.360

Let the profit earned by P and Q be x

Profit obtained by P = 150 + $\frac{3}{7}\times x$

$150+\frac{3}{7}\times x=780$

$x=Rs.630$

Profit received by B = $\frac{4}{7}\times x=Rs.360$
