Question

Srikant and Vividh started a business investing amounts of $Rs.185000$ and $Rs.225000,$ respectively.If Vividh's share in the profit earned by them is $Rs.9000,$ what is the total profit earned by them together?

• A. $Rs.17400$
• B. $Rs.16400$
• C. $Rs.16800$
• D. $Rs.17800$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Rs.16400$

Ratio of investment by Srikant and Vividh is

$=\frac{185000}{225000}=\frac{185}{225}=\frac{37}{45}$

therefore there profit sharing will be in the same ratio $=\frac{37}{45}=k$ (ratio constant)

then $45k=9000$

therefore $k=\frac{9000}{45}=200$

Hence total profit

$=(37+45)k=82k=82\times 200=16400Rs$
