Question

The contributions made by A and B are in the ratio of 2:3. If 20% of total profit is donated and A gets 5890 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?

A Rs. 10000.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Rs. 30000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Rs. 18406.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Rs. 15500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the total profit = x
The ratio of contribution by A and B = 2:3
Share of A = (2/5) × x = 5890
x= (5890 × 5)/2
Total profit: x = 14725
A gets 5890 after 20% donated
Now, 80% = 14725
1% = 14725/ 80
And, 100% = (14725/80) × 100 = 18406.25
