Question
What is the total profit earned by two partners, A and
B, in a business? Statement I: A and B started a business by investing Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 75,000, respectively. After 6 months, A withdrew Rs. 10,000, and B invested an additional Rs. 25,000. The business ran for 1 year, and the profit was distributed in proportion to their investments. Statement II: The total profit was shared between A and B in the ratio 14:19. B's share of the profit was Rs. 19,000. The question consists of two statements I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question or not.Solution
Using Statement I, The profit-sharing ratio can be calculated based on the investments of A and B over 12 months. However, the total profit is not provided, so this statement alone is not sufficient. Using Statement II, The profit-sharing ratio and B's share of Rs. 19,000 allow us to calculate the total profit. Since the ratio is 14:19, the total profit is Rs. (19,000 × (14 + 19)) ÷ 19 = Rs. 33,000. This statement alone is sufficient to answer the question. Answer: B
5 + 2 × 3 ÷ (3 × 2) ÷ 4
What will come in the place of question mark (?) in the given expression?
{122 + (66/4) + (252/8)} ÷ 8 = (?)1/2
(152 × 24 + 2540)/25 = 44464 ÷ ?
(72 + 30) ÷ 6 + [{75 ÷ 25) + 6} × 2] = ?
12.5% of (100 + ?) = 40
(11/12) × (18/22) × (4/3) + 3 = ?2
- What will come in the place of question mark (?) in the given expression?
435 + 729 - 282 x 2 = ? + 225 + 125 What will come in the place of question mark (?) in the given expression?
{(16 × 25) ÷ 32} × 12 = ? – 200
240 + 25% of 420 – 145 =? + (2.5 + 8.5) 2
