    Question

    The contributions made by A and B are in the ratio of

    4:5. If 10% of total profit is donated and A gets 8200 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?
    A Rs. 17000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 15000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 20500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 15500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total profit = x
    The ratio of contribution by A and B = 4:5
    Sum of ratios = 9
    Share of A = (4/9) × x = 8200
    x= (8200 × 9)/4
    Total profit: x= 18450
    A gets 8200 after 10% donated
    Now, 90% = 18450
    1% = 18450/ 90
    And, 100% = (18450/90) × 100 = 20500
