      investments of Rs. 17,200, Rs. 25,800, and Rs. 32,250, respectively. After 20 months, C completely withdrew his investment. Four months later, B also withdrew his entire investment. The business continued for a total duration of 25 months, at the end of which A's share of the profit was Rs. 650. Determine the total profit earned by the business.
      A Rs. 2,297 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2,768 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 2,561 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2,873 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Respective ratio of profit shares of 'A', 'B' and 'C' = (17200 X 25):(25800 X 24):(32250 X 20) = 430000:619200:645000 = 50:72:75 So, total profit earned from the business = 650 X (197/50) = Rs. 2,561
