    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
