Question

Priya started a business by investing Rs 2050. After 7 months she is joined by Varun and Rekha. If after 7 months Priya withdraws Rs 300, Varun invests Rs 2310 and Rekha invests Rs 2730, then find the share of profit of Varun and Rekha together out of total profit of Rs 11500 after a year.

Answer 1

Ratio of shares of profit of Priya : Varun : Rekha

$\Rightarrow 2050\times 7+1750\times 5:2310\times 5:2730\times 5$

$\Rightarrow 2050+250\times 5:330\times 5:390\times 5$

$\Rightarrow 41+25:33:39$

$\Rightarrow 22:11:13$

Total profit earned by them is $11500$ Rs.

So total profits of Varun and Rekha,

$\Rightarrow \frac{11+13}{22+11+13}\times 11500$

$\Rightarrow \frac{24}{46}\times 11500$

$\Rightarrow 6000$ Rs.
