    Solution

    Since, β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ invested their sums for equal period, therefore, ratio of the profit received by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ will be equal to the ratio of sum invested by them i.e. 13:5, respectively Let the total profit received by them be Rs. 100x Therefore, profit distributed between β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 0.90 Γ— 100x = Rs. 90x Profit received by β€˜A’ = 90x Γ— (13/18) = Rs. 65x According to the question, 65x = 1625 Or, x = 25 Therefore, total profit received by β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 100x = Rs. 2500
