Question
Two partners A and B invested Rs 70,000 and Rs 50,000
respectively in a business. Both the partners distribute 75% of the profit equally and distribute the rest 25% in proportion to their investments. If one partner received Rs 4,000 more than the other, find the total profit.Solution
Ratio of their investments (A’s : B’s)= = 70,000 : 50,000  = 7 : 5 Let  shares of A and B be 7x and 5x in 25% of the profit. ∴ 7 x - 5 x = 4,000  ⇒ 2x = 4,000 ∴ x =2,000 ∴ 25% of the total profit = 12 x = 12 × 2,000 = 24,000 ∴Total profit = (24000 ×100)/25  = Rs. 96,000
The Speed of the ship in calm water is five times the speed of the stream. If the ship can travel 's + 30' km downstream or 's - 10' km upstream in 5 ho...
The ratio of the speed of boats ‘A’ and ‘B’ in still water is 8:9, respectively. The speed of the current is 25% of the speed of boat ‘A’ in...
In still water, a boat can cover 30 km in 90 minutes. Speed of the stream is 20% of the speed of the boat in downstream. Find the time taken by the boat...
A boat can travel 45 km downstream in 50 min. The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 5: 4. How much time will t...
Speed of a boat in still water is 6 times more than the speed of stream. If boat covers 112 km in downstream in 8 hours, then find the time taken by the...
- The time to travel (x – 35) km upstream is the same as the time for (2x – 115) km downstream. Given the boat’s speed is 11 km/h and the stream’s sp...
If the sum of upstream and downstream speed is 30 km/hr and the speed of the current is 5 km/hr. Then find time taken to cover 40 km in downward?
Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream is 5:3, if speed of current is 9 km/hr, then find distance travelled (in km) upstream in 8 hours.
A boat takes one-third time in moving a certain distance downstream than upstream. The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water and that of the cur...
