Question

To start a business if Raju invested ₹20000, Ravi invested ₹30000 and Surya invested ₹40000, they got a total profit of ₹450 and decided to divide in the ratio of investments then how much money did Ravi get?

• A. ₹180
• B. ₹270
• C. ₹90
• D. ₹360

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹270

Given that Raju invested ₹20000, Ravi invested ₹30000 and Surya invested ₹40000.

Now the ratio of their investments = 20000: 30000: 40000

= 2: 3: 4

$\therefore$ Now let the profits they got be 2$x$, 3$x$, 4$x$

$\because$ The total profit is ₹450.

$\Rightarrow$ 2$x$+3$x$+4$x$ = 450

$\Rightarrow$ 9$x$ = 450

$\Rightarrow$ $x$ = 90

$\therefore$ Money that Ravi got = 3$x$

= 3$\times$90

= ₹270
