Question

Thomas and Manoj started a business together. Thomas invested RS. $60000$ and Manoj Rs. $40000$
Next week, when they divided the profit into the ratio of their investment Manoj, got $3000$ rupees. How much did Thomas get?

Answer 1

Ratio of investment of Thomas and Manoj $=\frac{60000}{40000}=\frac{3}{2}$

Let Thomas get profit of =$3x$

and let Manoj get profit of =$2x$

Manoj got $=Rs.3000$

So, $2x=3000$

$x=\frac{3000}{2}$

$x=1500$

Then, Thomas get $=3\times 1500=Rs.4500$
