Question

To start a business, Raju invested ₹ 20000, Ravi invested ₹ 30000 and Surya invested ₹ 40000. They made a total profit of ₹ 450 and decided to divide it in the ratio of their investments. How much money did Ravi get?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹ 270

Given: 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 profit they made 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
