Question

Shreya started a business by investing Rs $2200$. After $4$ months she adds Rs $200$ and Aditya joins her with Rs $3000$. After further $6$ months, both withdrew Rs $400$. Find the difference in their shares of profit if total profit after a year is Rs $15,750$.

Answer 1

Ratio of shares of profit of Shreya : Aditya

$\Rightarrow 2200\times 4+2400\times 6+2000\times 2:3000\times 6+2600\times 2$

$\Rightarrow 22+6\times 6+5\times 2:15\times 3+13$

$\Rightarrow 34:29$

So difference in their profits:

$\Rightarrow \frac{34-29}{34+29}\times 15750$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{63}\times 15750$

$\Rightarrow 1250$
