      Question

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

      2:5. If 20% of total profit is donated and A gets 5500 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?
      A Rs. 27500.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 24062.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 27000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 28500 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 = 2:5
      Share of A = (2/7) × x = 5500
      x= (5500 × 7)/2
      Total profit: x = 19250
      A gets 5500 after 80% donated
      Now, 80% = 19250
      1% = 19250/ 80
      And, 100% = (19250/80) × 100 = 24062.50
