    Solution

    Since, lsquo;Arsquo; and lsquo;Brsquo; invested their sums for equal period, therefore, ratio of the profit received by lsquo;Arsquo; and lsquo;Brsquo; will be equal to the ratio of sum invested by them i.e. 6:5, respectively Let the total profit received by them be Rs. 100x Therefore, profit distributed between lsquo;Arsquo; and lsquo;Brsquo; = 0.88 times; 100x = Rs. 88x Profit received by lsquo;Arsquo; = 88x times; (6/11) = Rs. 48x According to the question, 48x = 1632 Or, x = 34 Therefore, total profit received by lsquo;Arsquo; and lsquo;Brsquo; = 100x = Rs. 3400
